Patrick Mahomes sent a sly message to the NFL world and all other quarterbacks in the league who doubted him after the superstar passer performed at a high level in their AFC championship victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Playing through a high ankle sprain, an injury which keeps many NFL athletes out for over a month, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback threw for 326 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions to lead his team to victory, securing their place in the Super Bowl.
It will now be the third time that Mahomes has played in the NFL's biggest game of the year, in an attempt to win his second championship, after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in 2020 before losing to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following year.
