Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs clinched their second Super Bowl title in the last four years. And the path this time was ridden with all sorts of adversities. So the 38-35 win definitely called for some celebrations. And Pat Mahomes Sr. came prepared.
The quarterback’s father made the headlines when he lighted a cigar after beating the Bengals in the AFC Championship game. It seems as if Mahomes Sr. had one ready for the Philadelphia Eagles as well. Brittany Mahomes shared the video on her Instagram story.

The Chiefs were not the favorites to win the Lombardi this time, with their quarterback struggling with a high ankle sprain. However, Mahomes and Co. pulled through the pain.
Harrison Butker kicked in the game-winning field goal with 8 seconds on the clock to bring home the ring. And shortly after, the confetti rained, and the families made their way to the pitch. Patrick Mahomes Sr. got a guy to make him a box of cigars for the entire Chiefs’ roster. And he kept one for himself as well.

Brittany asked the former MLB pitcher if he has a special name for this Super Bowl LVII victory cigar. “I’m smoking on that The Philly Blunt,” Pat Mahomes Sr. replied after finishing lighting it up.
This was definitely less brutal than the Bengals’ cigar
Kansas was a bigger underdog in the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals after Mahomes twisted his ankle only a week before. Arrowhead became ‘Burrowhead’ and the Cincinnati mayor even jokingly took a shot at Patrick Mahomes when he claimed that Joe Burrow was his real father. However, the Bengals couldn’t live up to the online trash talk. And a taped-up no. 15 came clutch, regardless.

Canon-arm Mahomes won his second Super Bowl MVP after a 3 touchdown and 78% passing completion night. His league and Super Bowl MVPs in the same year make him the first in a very long time. The last one to do it was Kurt Warner in 1999. And with a unit as strong as the Chiefs under the able leadership of Andy Reid, the star quarterback can expect to add some more in the years to come.
