Elway is credited w being the best at fourth quarter comebacks. He and Mahomes have something in common.
Dan Reeves always called a very conservative game. Andy Reid does the same and certainly did last night. It’s no accident that these guys were on the losing end with time running out. Then when the chips are on the line a great quarterback takes over and gets the job done. Just like the last four weeks.

Happy for Mahomes, Andy Reid and the Chiefs. Also happy for Richard Sherman and the OSU linebacker guy - sweet payback to those larger than life egos.

Williams made the plays that made the difference. The most valuable impact in yards and points when it was needed.
As an Eagles’s fan, I’m happy that Andy Reid won a Super Bowl.

Congratulations Kansas City!

The Chiefs played great in crunch time. Shanahan blew play calling and clock management to put the Chiefs in position to play great in crunch time. Good superbowl to watch for a change.

We are looking at a future Hall of Famer in Mahomes.

Here in Lubbock, most certainly we were 275,000 fans strong for the Kansas City Chiefs last night, owing to our love and respect for and pride in Patrick Mahomes, alumnus of Texas Tech University and quarterback for the TTU Red Raiders.
Following the Kansas City Chiefs' victory last night, the TTU Saddle Tramps, TTU's historic spirit organization, received the permission of the TTU President's Office to ring the carillon victory bells in the administration building tower for 15 minutes to celebrate Mahomes for quarterbacking his team to their Super Bowl victory. Here, on the flat of the southernmost tip of the Great Plains, you could hear the bells pealing in tribute to Mahomes for miles around.
We had come to know him several years previous before the rest of the football world became aware of him, and are oh so proud of him for his continued fearlessness to strive for honor and seek to win in the face of daunting odds, his never-say-die leadership that keeps the fire to win lit in the hearts of his teammates, his gracious acknowledgement of their contributions along with those of his coach, his jaw-dropping effortless skills as an athlete, and his fundamental human decency.

Right. Three come-from-behind playoff and super bowl wins in a row. Makes one kinda wonder; are these tough dudes all Gipper fans or are their late-game victories fueled by some signal thievery? Just askin'.

Personally I prefer such thoughts remain in your head rather than sully a great performance by a great team with what, an unfounded and unjust conspiracy theory. Just sayin.

We could use someone like Mahomes in the White House. Talented, calm, competent and humble.

@Vet24 And someone who also knows Kansas City is in Missouri. Unlike the Idiot-In-Chief we have in the WH, who only knows how to play with his cell phone on the toilet.

I think it was 1982, I was sitting in the stands at Mile High Stadium for a preseason game. The Broncos had just a fellow named Elway. I saw him throw a warm up pass that was just short of Mach 1.
The guy I watched in yesterday's Super Bowl has already made me forget Elway.

Our political parties would do well to read this article and acquire the respect for the dynamics of the cultural group team mechanics that wins with authority. Kansas City Chiefs deserving achievement offers its talent design to connectivity to our best in America: to include the Boeing challenge and the nation's politics design for winning plans. Take charge again and know that it's worthy, fun and necessary for all ages and organizational victories.

Great game. For some reason, Troy Aikman felt it necessary to point out several times how poorly Mahomes was playing, so it was particularly gratifying that by the end of the game, the entire rest of the football world recognized Mahomes as the unquestioned MVP of the game -- a fact that Aikman could not acknowledge.

@Charles Hinkle. Aikman was pointing out the obvious - Mahomes was less than stellar for most of the game. He did what a commentator is supposed to do. And as for MVP, the runner Williams should have gotten it. I love Mahomes and Andy Reid, but let's acknowledge what we actually saw.

@Charles Hinkle
Mahomes is the best QB on the planet. Until the final five minutes that was his worst performance in the playoffs and likely his worst as an NFL QB. He threw two terrible interceptions in the game after throwing zero in all of his previous playoff games. Garoppolo had a higher QB rating at the half!
Aikman was doing his job. Nicely and professionally. Mahomes should be grateful the game was not on CBS. Romo would have been tearing into him.
MVP? 26 of 42 is not normally MVP worthy. It certainly is sub-par for Mahomes. An argument could have been made for Damien Williams the RB. However, when there is no overwhelming standout, the award goes to the QB, as it should.
Not the best Super Bowl I have ever watched. Not the worst either---Colts-Cowboys?
All of that being said, the Chiefs will be contenders for the next 10+ years if Mahomes stays healthy. They might as well start preparing his bust for Canton.

@Charles Hinkle aikman is far and away the worst announcer. Joe buck and aikman should be banned from sports.

I’m not a big football fan and have never seen Mahomes in action before but he seemed to have a high schooler’s enthusiasm and team spirit. After reading this piece, looks like he has the maturity to be humble as well.
Refreshing to see that in the NFL.
