America wakes up on Monday morning with a new hero. Step forward Patrick Lavon Mahomes II.
On a cool night in Miami, the 24–year-old displayed ice in his veins. His comeback – rallying his side from 20-10 down with an explosive 21 points in seven incredible fourth quarter minutes will become the stuff of legend.
Not that everyone will have been surprised. Why? Because with Mahomes, you always have a chance. Always. Even when you are 10 down to the meanest offense in the NFL. Even when you have spent three quarters effectively on the run. Even when those marauding, vicious 49ers are coming in for the kill. Always.
America got a new hero on Sunday night as Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (right) threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns to inspire his team into a comeback which saw them defeat the San Francisco 49ers by 31 – 20 in Super Bowl LIV
Mahomes was embraced on the field by girlfriend Brittany Matthews after steering his team to victory. The 24-year-old is the second-youngest quarterback to win the Super Bowl, and the youngest to win the тιтle and NFL MVP award
The win marks the third time in the playoffs that Mahomes has led from behind to claim victory – overhauling the Texans and тιтans before repeating the feat during the Super Bowl
