Patrick Mahomes became a two-time Super Bowl champion last night when the Kansas City Chiefs finished 38-35 against the Eagles. However, Mahomes needed all the luck and perseverance in the world to power through a high ankle sprain he picked up earlier in the season.

Patrick’s wife Brittany Matthews gave the quarterback one such lucky item to help him through the adversities. And it seems to have worked perfectly. The charm in this case? Red game-day underwear from Lululemon.
