Not only the Chiefs, but also Patrick Mahomes defended his title, because in addition to his second ring in a row, and his third overall, he also won his second and third Super Bowl MVP title in a row. Before him, only two players were able to defend a title in this category: Bart Starr in the first and second Super Bowls, and Terry Bradshaw in the 13th and 14th Super Bowls. in the grand final.
Mahomes launched 46 passes in the game, 34 of which were successful (73.9%) for 333 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception, and he also had 66 rushing yards with several very important first downs. In the game, he led his team to score points on each of his last four drives, including two TDs (including the game-winner), but also marched to the opponent’s 10-yard line on both field goals.
So when he really needed to, he was always able to put up points, and so he was able to turn around a 10+ point deficit in a Super Bowl once more.
By the way, no one has ever been able to win three Super Bowl MVPs in a row, Mahomes will try to do this in the 2024 season.
