Before Mahomes, last year's Super Bowl MVP was Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp, who helped the team take home their first championship since 2000.
Mahomes threw three touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter, while playing on an injured ankle, to lift the Chiefs from a 10-point halftime deficit.
Mahomes took another giant step toward that goal Sunday. His rewards: another Lombardi Trophy and Super Bowl MVP to hoist for the Kansas City faithful.
Mahomes reinjured his ankle late in the first half when Eagles linebacker T.J. Edwards spun him to the ground.
