Meanwhile, a defense that had drawn criticism off and on all season, and previously had struggled to rattle Burrow, racked up five sacks and denied Cincinnati late-game opportunities to orchestrate winning drives.That robust backing of the defense gave Mahomes even greater resolve to capitalize. After that final defensive stand, and a 29-yard punt return by Moore, Mahomes orchestrated the game-winning drive., who anchored the defense with two sacks. “His game speaks for itself.
Mahomes’ play certainly did, as did his ability to lead and inspire — both attributes synonymous with the greatest sports figures. But Mahomes never made it about himself. While his teammates showered him with praise, he credited them for motivating him. “It took my teammates,” he said. “I truly believe that and just to come out here and battle against a great football team, it took all of us. At some points in games, you’ve got to put it all on the line. The defense gave us a chance. I knew I was going to get us there somehow.”Fortunately for Mahomes and the Chiefs, he has two weeks to continue to receive treatment and rest for his ankle. And then, on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz.
Just getting back to the Super Bowl this season represents a monumental accomplishment for Mahomes, whose top wide receiver,, was traded to Miami during the offseason. Mahomes had to demonstrate patience with new and still-developing pass-catchers, which also forced him to do more with less. He made it look rather easy, passing for a career-high 5,250 yards and 41 touchdowns.
Asked what a second Super Bowl victory would mean to him, Mahomes said: “I would appreciate it way more. … I think when I first got in the league, it all happened so fast. I won MVP and won the Super Bowl and I just thought that was just how it was going to be. But now that I’ve dealt with failure and losing an AFC championship , losing a Super Bowl , I know how much hard work and daily grind that it takes.
