Kansas City’s hopes of returning home with the Lombardi trophy looked bleak late in the opening half when Mahomes appeared to re-injure the right ankle that had been a major worry coming into the game.
Grimacing in pain after a tackle, Mahomes hobbled off the field and slammed his helmet to the turf as the Chiefs headed into halftime trailing 24-14.
But when the teams returned after the break a resilient Mahomes produced a heroic effort, tossing two fourth-quarter touchdowns and engineering a final drive to set up Harrison Butker’s 27-yard game-winning field goal with eight seconds to play.
Mahomes threw three touchdowns in an efficient passing display, including 182 yards from 21/27 attempts, rallying from behind against a heroic effort from Jalen Hurts, whose three rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown were not enough.
It is the second title for Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid in a dominant five-year spell.
Mahomes who suffered a dislocated ankle three weeks ago, appeared to suffer a reoccurrence of the issue in the first half after a hit from TJ Edwards.
The 27-year-old hobbled off at half-time, with his team trailing by 10 at half-time and left in a historically bad position.
