Patrick Mahomes leads Chiefs to thrilling Super Bowl victory over Eagles

It was all laughs for the Kelce brothers leading up to the Super Bowl, but after four quarters of grueling football, only one walked away a champion.

Travis Kelce scored a touchdown to help earn his second Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs, but it was a bittersweet feeling for eight-time Pro Bowl tight end who beat his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, in the process.

The two were seen quickly embracing one another on the field before Travis Kelce joined the rest of his team on stage to accept the Vince Lombardi Trophy. 

“There’s nothing you could really say to a loved one in a situation like that,” Travis Kelce said after the game. “You know, you joke around all the time and say you want to beat your brother in the biggest stage ever but it’s a weird feeling. It’s a weird feeling.”

“There’s nothing I could really say to him other than I love him and he played a hell of a year, a hell of season.”

Veteran defensive end Frank Clark could barely find the words to express himself after an emotional win in Super Bowl LVII, saying after the game that he knows his father is “smiling” over him. 

“I’m just overfilled with joy. I had a rough year, man. It’s been rough for me. My teammates, they never lost faith in me. I’m just thankful. I’m extremely humble and thankful. I’m just thankful, I’ve got some of the best teammates in the world," Clark told FOX Sports.

Clark had one tackle in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, but he forced Jalen Hurts out of bounds early on in the first quarter for an Eagles’ three-and-out with the game tied at 7-7. 

He was given the name “Mr. February'' by his coaching staff because of his postseason performances. He ranks third in all-time postseason sacks with 13.5.

Clark’s father, Frank Clark III, died in a house fire in Cleveland along with the three other people in 2018. He was emotional when speaking about it after the game. 

“It’s a blessing. I know my pops smiling, man. I wish he could see it, but I know he’s smiling."

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is already a two-time NFL MVP and after his gritty performance on Sunday, he's now a two-time Super Bowl MVP.

Mahomes led his team to a game-winning drive to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium on Sunday night. 

Hs now the seventh player in NFL history who has won both regular-season MVP and Super Bowl MVP in the same year. 

Mahomes threw three touchdowns, going 21 of 27 through the air for 182 yards. He also rushed for 44 yards, 26 of those coming on the final drive that helped set up their final red zone trip. 

"I told y’all this week, there’s nothing that’s going to keep me off this football field," he said after the game of his ankle injury. "I just want to shout out my teammates, man. We challenged each other. It took everybody to win this football game."

At 27 years old, Mahomes' resume continues to add up.

Andy Reid was called a future Hall of Fame coach by Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and on Sunday, “Big Red” seemingly solidified his place among the greats with a win in Super Bowl LVII. 

The Kansas City Chiefs and the Eagles traded touchdowns for a thrilling Super Bowl game but coach Ried, who spent 14 years in Philadelphia before moving on to Kansas City, managed to give his offense the edge in the second half to win it all, 38-35. 

“I contribute that to the offensive line, Pat Mahomes, and the rest of the offensive players. They did a great job,” Reid said as his team hoisted up the Vince Lombardi Trophy. 

“Eric Bieniemy was tremendous down the stretch there, putting things together, and it was just a – really by all the coaches on both sides of the ball.”

When asked about any thoughts of retirement, Reid quickly dismissed it. 

“No, I’m gonna enjoy this one right here. I’ll tell you this is unbelievable.” 

The Philadelphia Eagles were trailing by eight points with just over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter but quarterback Jalen Hurts made sure that didn’t last for long. 

Hurts orchestrated an eight-play, 75 yard drive to score a touchdown and then run the ball in for a two-point conversion to tie the game, 35-35. 

There has never been a punt return for a touchdown in the Super Bowl, but Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney almost accomplished that after scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs a 28-27 lead. 

He ran a 65-yard return before getting stopped on the Eagles 5-yard line. On 3rd-and-goal Patrick Mahomes connected with rookie wideout Skyy Moore for his first touchdown of the game. 

Toney's run marked the longest punt return in Super Bowl history. There has never been a punt return for a touchdown in Super Bowl history.

All eyes were on nine-time Grammy award winner Rihanna as she headlined the halftime show for Super Bowl LVII. 

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was pranked by former NFL wideout Brandon Marshall during a press conference earlier this week, telling the two-time NFL MVP that the famed singer called him the "greatest quarterback ever."

"It makes me feel great. She’s going to crush it at halftime," Mahomes said. "I have family members that I think are more excited about the halftime show than they are the game. And so whatever Rihanna says is like the gospel, so I'm glad she went with me for that honor."

Mahomes, who has clearly been staying away from the headlines, fell for Marshall’s prank.

"She didn’t, I’m just messing around," Marshall said with a laugh.

Mahomes re-aggravated his ankle injury late in the first half of the game but returned for the third quarter.

The Eagles are walking into the second half with a 10-point lead after placekicker Jake Elliott made a 35-yard field goal attempt as the game clock hit zero, giving Philadelphia a comfortable 24-14 lead. 

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was surrounded by “M-V-P“ chants after scoring his second running touchdown of the game. He also connected wide receiver A.J. Brown for a textbook 45-yard touchdown pass.

The two-time NFL MVP battled through the injury during the AFC Championship game against the Cincinnati Bengals. 

Chiefs owner and CEO Clark Hunt on "Fox & Friends" Friday that Mahomes wouldn't be fully healed before Super Bowl LVII.

"The great thing is Patrick’s a very fast healer and he was able to get ready to play the AFC Championship game in a week on that high ankle sprain and did just an amazing job, including making the pivotal play at the end of the game that helped us win it – on his legs," Hunt said.

"He’s doing great this week. I don’t know that he’ll be at 100%, but he sure is going to tell you otherwise."

Jalen Hurts continues to show his resiliency in the first half against the Chiefs.

As “M-V-P-“ chants rain down on the Eagles quarterback, he helped the team retake the lead in Super Bowl LVII with a 4-yard touchdown run to make the score 21-14. It’s the third total touchdown for Hurts during the game and his second rushing touchdown of the evening.

Hurts ran for 28 yards on 4th-and-5 to keep Philly’s drive alive. Then, on 4th-and-2 from the Chiefs’ 8-yard line, the Eagles got the defense to jump offside. The penalty gave Philadelphia another shot at a score and they converted.

Patrick Mahomes took home his second NFL MVP award on Thursday night. He is looking to snap a losing streak among NFL MVPs -- the last nine winners to make a Super Bowl have all lost. 

Tom Brady in 2017 and 2007, Matt Ryan in 2016, Cam Newton in 2015, Peyton Manning in 203 and 2009, Rich Gannon in 2002 and Kurt Warner in 2001 were the quarterbacks who won the regular-season MVP and lost in the game.

He received CPR on the field before being transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he remained a week before being transported back to Buffalo. 

Denny Kellington, the Bills’ assistant athletic trainer who performed CPR on Hamlin, received one one fifth-place vote for NFL MVP from veteran ESPN reporter Suzy Kolber who said her vote was a "symbolic gesture representing ‘everyone’ who carries the weight of that job, every week. They rarely get the recognition they deserve."

"Every day I am amazed that my experiences could encourage so many others across the country and across the world," Hamlin said. "Encourage to pray, encourage to spread love and encourage keep fighting no matter the circumstances."

“He actually took a hit on that shoulder in the NFC Championship game – the type of hit they were a little nervous about but he came through with flying colors and now I’m told he actually has more confidence in the shoulder,” Glazer said before kickoff.

Hurts missed games in Week 16 and 17 and was replaced by backup quarterback Gardner Minshew. The Eagles lost both the games, despite Minshew throwing for 629 yards total.
