The Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles after another Mahomes' heroic performance

The Kansas City Chiefs won the 2023 Super Bowl after a dramatic 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday.

Patrick Mahomes proved why he is the NFL’s Most Valuable Player as he shrugged off an ankle injury to lead the Chiefs to the win, claiming their second Super Bowl in four years.

The Chiefs, who also won the Super Bowl in 2019, advanced to the Super Bowl after beating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 at the AFC championship game.

The Chiefs’ hopes of returning home with the Lombardi trophy looked bleak late in the opening half when Mahomes appeared to re-injure the right ankle that had been a major worry coming into the game.

He hobbled off the field and slammed his helmet to the turf as the Chiefs headed into halftime trailing 24-14.

However, when the teams returned after the break a resilient Mahomes produced a heroic effort, tossing two fourth-quarter touchdowns and engineering a final drive to set up Harrison Butker’s 27-yard game-winning field goal with eight seconds to play.

“It was everybody,” Mahomes told Fox. “Everybody said we had to step our game up. Our defense played their butts off in the second half and our offense found a way.”
