GLENDALE, Ariz. — One the most brilliant displays of quarterbacking prowess in Super Bowl history — between Chiefs wunderkind Patrick Mahomes and the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts — was decided by a hobbled run.
With the score tied with 2:55 left Sunday, Mahomes took a first-and-10 snap, looked downfield and sprinted up the middle. Willing his sprained right ankle to move — he hurt it last month against the Jaguars and limped after being tackled in the second quarter — Mahomes ran straight ahead into the emerald expanse of State Farm Stadium. Twenty-six yards later, the Chiefs had the ball at the Eagles’ 17.
