Super Bowl 58 finished in dramatic fashion, as quarterback Patrick Mahomes led a game-winning drive in overtime capped by a touchdown to Mecole Hardman.
While talking with NFL Network after the victory, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice revealed what Mahomes told the Kansas City huddle before theat Super Bowl-sealing drive: they were going to score.
It seems like an obvious message to give your team in crunch time of a Super Bowl, but Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks ever for a reason.
He called his shot to his teammates, and he paid it off with a game-winning touchdown to Hardman right as overtime was expiring.

Rice, like all the other Chiefs players, got to experience the joys of having Mahomes as your quarterback, and he also got the inside look at how Mahomes encourages his teammates in such a pivotal moment.
Super Bowls last forever, and it’s awesome to hear that Mahomes knew how this one was going to end before it happened.
