On a Bum Ankle, MVP Patrick Lavon Mahomes Scripts a Comeback to Remember Amid Brittany, Jackson, Randi Loud Cheers

The heart of a true champion is defined by what he can do under the brightest lights. And no light is brighter than the ones of the greatest sporting event in the world, the Super Bowl. The script is finally set in stone. The final reveal? Patrick Mahomes is a champion again. In a moment unparalleled across the history of professional sports, Mahomes laid his latest stake for GOAT status. 

On par with Jordan’s ‘Flu-Game’ and any other performance, Mahomes put up an all-time great performance on the biggest stage in sports. The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a victory in an absolute ripper at Super Bowl LVII. With a stellar 226-yard performance to go along with 3 TDs at a scorching 78% completion rate, Mahomes had a QB masterclass on display. But the legend of Mahomes doesn’t end there. 

Patrick Mahomes carves his path straight into GOAT status

A legend isn’t just scripted on the field. A true legend is scripted through adversity off the field. Patrick Mahomes entered Sunday Nights’ Super Bowl with several injury concerns pertaining to his earlier ankle injury. With more than a half of football left to play, the worst came to fruition for Chiefs fans. Mahomes re-injured his previously sprained ankle and left the field. This is generally where a Super Bowl is lost. 

But Mahomes’ story didn’t just end there. A legend still needed to be scripted, and a Super Bowl needed to be won. With his wife Brittany, brother Jackson, and mother Randi in attendance, Mahomes put up a legendary performance. The Chiefs offense had struggled to find rhythm till this point.

But Mahomes walked out of halftime, perhaps invigorated by a scintillating Rihanna performance, and lit the state of Arizona on fire. 

The Chiefs went on to score on every offensive possession in the second half, denying a young and raw Eagles team a shot at the Lombardi. 

And above all, stood out Mahomes’ undying spirit even after suffering an injury. Perhaps the first full chapter in Mahomes’ claim to GOAT status.

Mahomes and the Chiefs light up the football world.

The Chiefs just won their second championship in the span of 5 years. Fans all over the world cannot stop gushing over the absolute fairy tale script for Mahomes and the Chiefs. The Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes pairing is the most unstoppable force in all of the sports. And Mahomes continues to fill up his trophy cabinet with yet another Super Bowl MVP. In fact, Mahomes joins a select list of athletes to complete the trifecta of winning the MVP, Super Bowl, and Super Bowl MVP.

The comparisons were bound to start. Mahomes has started to carve out a career trajectory that could see him end up at the top of every sports book as the greatest ever to lace them up. Brady has long been the unparalleled greatest player of all time in football. The GOAT may have retired, but his competition has just begun his hunt. Mahomes has cemented himself as the true successor to Brady’s throne.
