Who won the Super Bowl? Eagles vs Chiefs result after Patrick Mahomes rallies to epic comeback victory
The Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit at half-time as Mahomes collected a second ring in four years
Patrick Mahomes proved why he is the NFL’s Most Valuable Player as he shrugged off an ankle injury to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a dramatic 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday to claim their second Super Bowl in four years.
Kansas City’s 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.
Grimacing in pain after a tackle, Mahomes hobbled off the field and slammed his helmet to the turf as the Chiefs headed into halftime trailing 24-14.
But 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.

Pachecho gets cleaned out by an Eagles defender - but he’s OK to get up on his feet, which is good to see!
He may well be missing for a few plays at least though, a loss to the Chiefs.

Oh Jalen Hurts that is just terrific!
The Eagles quarterback rolls out to his left on the two-point conversion and with a pair of defenders to beat, he batters through the crowd to reach the end-zone!
We are tied at 35 points apiece! What a game!
Which way will it turn next?

EAGLES TOUCHDOWN!
Jalen Hurts in again with a QB sneak!
The Eagles QB goes big down the field for Smith who just stays in bounds, and then Hurts does the rest from short-range!
But... do they go for 2?! I think they are...
