With the Super Bowl triumph of the Kansas City Chiefs several “prophecies” around MVP Patrick Mahomes have come true.

Miami – On February 7, 2013, the then 17-year-old Patrick Mahomes posted a tweet. It must feel great to go to Disney World as a Super Bowl winner, he wrote.

At the time, Mahomes was still at Whitehouse High School in Smith County, Texas, and hadn’t decided whether to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a professional baseball player or try his hand at football.

As you know, he decided to pursue a football career and that was a good thing. His “prophecy” of 2013 comes true seven years later. It’s off to Disney World for the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs after the 31:20 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers: As “Most Valuable Player” of the Super Bowl, you traditionally get a trip there as a gift. “This is something I’ve wanted to say all my life: I’m going to Disney World,” he shouted into the microphone with a big smile just after the game.

Second youngest Super Bowl quarterback
And that brings us to the second promise that has become reality. Mahomes was last year’s hottest promise for the future as MVP of the league.

Just one year later, at just 24 years of age, he is the second-youngest quarterback in NFL history to win a Super Bowl after Ben Roethlisberger.

“I had two goals: I wanted to bring the Lamar Trophy back to Kansas and win a Super Bowl for Andy Reid.” Number one was the AFC Championship trophy two weeks ago, number two was the NFL title on Sunday night All done in just one season. Check.

For Reid, decades in the league, this is the long-awaited first Super Bowl title of his head coaching career. And it’s Mahomes’ thanks to his teacher, who put his trust in him in 2018 and gave him the edge over established quarterback Alex Smith in Kansas City.

Yet the 54th Super Bowl in Miami had long been plagued by the Chiefs’ offensive, which seemed to be overpowering this season. Mahomes threw two interceptions in the most important game of his career so far – something completely untypical for him. In 15 previous seasons, he had only thrown five interceptions.

Mahomes speaks as he plays
The pass rush of the 49ers developed the expected pressure for a long time, forced Mahomes again and again to comparatively uncontrolled casts, because he had to run away from his hunters several times.

“I pushed things too hard in the third quarter.” “But the boys always believed in me. “We never lost faith.” “Nobody kept their heads down.” “Andy Reid said, ‘Just keep throwing.” “it’s not over till it’s over.”

He talks the way he plays it: fast, lively, but still kind of clean.

Late relief – but not too late
It was not until the middle of the last quarter that Mahome’s liberation was achieved – late, but not too late. With the two decisive throws of the game: a 44-yard pass to Tyreek Hill, which opened the touchdown for 17:20; and in the next drive, a 38-yard throw to Sammy Watkins. A little later it was 24:20 for the Chiefs. The game was turned.

Mahomes impressively proved in the NFL’s 54th Super Bowl that he never gives up in any situation, despite his youthful age.

The Chiefs have thus made up ground by at least ten points in all three playoff games this season and even turned the tables thanks to their Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. The crown prince has crowned himself king of the NFL. And at exactly the same speed he speaks: extremely fast.
