Kansas City quarterback inspired team to late comeback winAnalysis: Mahomes’ brilliance is no longer surprisingTwelve hours later, Patrick Mahomes still could not find any better words to describe how it felt to fulfil a lifelong goal. After steering the Kansas City Chiefs to a comeback win over the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday night’s Super Bowl, he had described the moment as “surreal”. Collecting his award as the game’s Most Valuable Player on Monday morning, he returned once again to that term.
“In reality you never could imagine what this feels like,” he said. “It’s surreal to be a
Super Bowl champion, to know all the hard work that you put in every single day has paid off. Being the champ with your brothers, you can never think of what that’s like.”
