Opinion: Patrick Mahomes is a legend, but the 38-35 win Sunday was not just about him. The Kansas City Chiefs were slight underdogs in this game because the Philadelphia was a beast, bruce_arthur writes.
Patrick Mahomes is a legend. Five full seasons, five AFC championship games, three Super Bowls, twowins, two MVP awards, two Super Bowl MVPs. In his two Super Bowl wins Mahomes has rallied the Kansas City Chiefs from down 10 points both times. Other than New England’s comeback from 28-3 in 2017, that’s the biggest deficit anyone has come back from, in this game.
But the second half brought a comeback fuelled by coaching adjustments, cool-headed play, the Chiefs’ offensive line, a defence that held, painkillers, and a call. In Mahomes’ Super Bowl loss, 31-9 to Tampa Bay and Tom Brady two years ago, Mahomes was struggling with turf toe and harried behind a patchwork offensive line. Mahomes has said he has tried to do too much in his losses, but it was hard to avoid the idea in this game.
Philly drove back, Hurts went over 300 passing yards and ran in his third touchdown and the two-point conversion. It was 35-35 with 5:15 left.
