Patrick Mahomes entered the history books once again last night after leading his Chiefs to a thrilling 38-35 Super Bowl LVII win against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he did so battling major adversities, which were clearly visible during the match. And mother Randi Mahomes provided a testament to that after the game.

The mother of the now 2x Super Bowl champion posted a photo on her Instagram showing her son Patrick in visible pain. The adrenaline of the Lombardi did its thing. However, the suffering showed despite that, after four gruelling quarters in Phoenix.

What a moment to share,” one fan commented, while another planned for the future. “Now he can rest up that ankle so we can get ready for next season,” he said. “Bro is in pain,” one fan wrote. Overall, the Chiefs Kingdom couldn’t have been prouder of their quarterback. “One of a kind,” one said. “Definition of a leader,” another praised. “You raised a champion,” one fan addressed Randi.

Patrick Mahomes almost had to leave the game last night

Randi’s worrying is very justified after Mahomes left the ankle injury thoughts at home on Sunday night. The QB made several runs from the pocket for first downs where he was brought down in brutal fashion by the Eagles’ defense.

Things got a little heart-in-mouth for Kansas City Chiefs fans when Mahomes failed to escape from the pocket and landed unpleasantly from a T J Edwards tackle. No 15 limped for a while. And head coach Andy Reid even had backup QB Chad Henne warming up on the sidelines. However, Mahomes powered and Henne hung it up after his second ring in the bag.
