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.

Touchback and a huge possession for the Philadelphia Eagles...

Still one score in it, mind...

CHIEFS TOUCHDOWN!

3rd & goal and Mahomes has a receiver wide open on the left this time - it’s Skyy Moore with a simple catch, turn and walk-in!

Extra-point is good - and now the Chiefs have an eight-point lead!

Three and out for Philadelphia - nightmare!

Jalen Hurts spins out on 3rd & 2 but has nowhere to go, he has to throw it away!

Philadelphia punt - and Toney returns superbly, all the way to the five-yard line of the Eagles!

What a return - he stopped and then went back to the right-hand side!

Unreal! Out of nothing, this whole game has swung for the Chiefs!

Mahomes finds Kadarius Toney with a stunning route from the receiver - out to in and back out to the right to lose his defender for a walk-in touchdown!

Butker gets the extra point - just - and the Chiefs lead by one point!
