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.

Super Bowl 2023: Tom Brady makes Talladega Nights joke during Super Bowl
Tom Brady is not used to watching the Super Bowl at home and is certainly coming to terms with his new life away from the NFL.
After retiring, again, this off season, Brady has been sharing his views on the Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl 57 in Arizona.
And after playing 10 Super Bowls himself, including Super Bowl 55 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Chiefs, Brady joked about being unsure what to do with his hands as he transitions towards his next career.
Brady posted a meme from the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, with the caption: “I’m not sure what to do with my hands.”
Brady also sent a message to the two starting quarterbacks in the game: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.
