Thanks to Patrick Mahomes – once again, the Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as the Super Bowl Champions. Trailing 3-10 at halftime, the team orchestrated a comeback to tie the score at 19-19, forcing the game into overtime. Chiefs’ Harrison Butker nailed a 29-yard field goal with just 3 seconds left in the regulation, keeping their chances alive for the historic feat.

As the tensions reached their peak, Patrick Mahomes led a spectacular 75-yard touchdown drive, sealing the Chiefs’ victory in overtime. With the triumph, the Chiefs become the first team to achieve back-to-back Super Bowl victories since 2003-04, inching closer to establishing a dynasty. With that, NBA stars like Luka Doncic and Trae Young chime into the celebration, acknowledging the Chiefs’ quarterback as the NFL’s greatest.

Trae Young applauded Patrick, saying Mahomes may not claim to be better than Tom Brady just yet, but he is undoubtedly on the path to claiming the throne in the realm of NFL greatness.
