Mahomes led the Chiefs to a 38-35 victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl 57, overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit and tweaking his injured right ankle.

Patrick Mahomes shook off an ankle injury, turned back into a magician and pulled out another comeback on the biggest stage to help the Kansas City Chiefs win their second Super Bowl in four years.

Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and scrambled 26 yards on the go-ahead drive before Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8 seconds left to give the Chiefs a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

"He’s the MVP," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said about Mahomes. "That’s all that needs to be said. MVP. And you saw it tonight."

Mahomes and Jalen Hurts excelled in the first Super Bowl matchup featuring two Black starting QBs. But Mahomes, the two-time AP NFL MVP, turned it up in the second half after reaggravating a sprained right ankle. He earned his second Super Bowl MVP award, too.
