Who’s going to win Super Bowl 57? | You Ask the Questions

Patrick Mahomes proved why he is the NFL’s Most Valuable Player as he shrugged off an ankle injury to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a dramatic 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday to claim their second Super Bowl in four years.

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.

Eagles get the ball at the 35-yard line - Hurts will have one chance to launch a hail mary down the field!

Four seconds. Last play of the game. Hurts couldn’t... could he?!

Centre of the field, 27 yards, it’s all on Harrison Butker and his field goal attempt!

Mahomes takes a knee... and Chiefs can let the clock run down!

It’ll all be about the field goal. No timeouts for the Eagles! Brilliant clock management...

How you feeling, Harrison Butker?!

Madness!

McKinnon is running towards the end-zone but instead of going in, gets down at the one-yard line - forcing the Eagles to take a timeout!

The Eagles want him to score - and give Hurts time to score himself!

Third down now for Chiefs.

Eagles take a timeout. They want their man Hurts to have time to score, whether Chiefs get a field goal or a touchdown!

What will happen here?!

Pacheco is back and storms down the left-hand side for a first down.

And then it’s all about Mahomes! Will and talent sees the Chiefs QB sprint down the middle - with an injured ankle - and they’re in the red-zone.

TWO-MINUTE WARNING! What a match!
