Following tradition, the MVP of the Super Bowl visited Disneyland on Monday, with Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes receiving the parade down Main Street, U.S.A. for a second time.
Mahomes had his family with him, and they were all able to enjoy several of the rides – including the Runaway Railway.
Playing on an injured ankle, Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter Sunday and scrambled 26 yards on the go-ahead drive before Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with 8 seconds left to give the Chiefs a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs won their second NFL title in four years and two-time NFL MVP Mahomes earned his second Super Bowl MVP award.
Patrick Mahomes won his second Vince Lombardi Trophy, while Jalen Hurts was defeated in his first opportunity for the NFL championship, however, it was striking that after the victory of the Kansas City Chiefs by a score of 38-35 over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl XLVII the pair of quarterbacks did not shake hands on the gridiron of State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

However, according to an article published Monday by the New York Post, showing photographs from various sources, it appears that it was all a matter of timing after the end of the game, since, after the celebration on the Chiefs’ field, Mahomes went to the locker room where he shook hands with Hurts and congratulated him on a “hell of a game,” all according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Mahomes cemented his place as the best player in the NFL today after becoming the first to be named regular season and Super Bowl MVP in the same year since Kurt Warner earned that distinction in 1999 when he led the St. Louis Rams to win XXXIV by defeating the Tennessee Titans at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Mahomes and Hurts’ Super Bowl history
Hurts, meanwhile, competed alongside Mahomes at the home of the Arizona Cardinals by producing four touchdowns in last Sunday’s game, three of them on the ground, becoming the first quarterback and only the second player of any position to visit the end zone three times in the Vince Lombardi Trophy game. The other was running back Terrell Davis of the Denver Broncos against the Green Bay Packers in XXXII.
Mahomes and Hurts also made history by becoming the first pair of black quarterbacks to meet in the Super Bowl during the 57 times the game has been played.
“We’re not done yet.” That was the phrase Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes used when asked if his team is the new dynasty in the NFL after winning its second Super Bowl in four years. The statement that attempts to dismiss the idea of the new king dominating the NFL may do nothing more than confirm it.
In an era when it seems impossible to win sustainably over a long period of time, the Chiefs have once again shown us that with an epochal head coach like Andy Reid and a legendary quarterback like Mahomes himself, dynasties are still possible.
The facts that make the Chiefs a dynasty
It’s not just two Super Bowls in four years, it’s five AFC Championship Games in as many years, all of them as the home team, there’s a “Super Sunday” lost in the middle of those years, it’s seven AFC West titles in a row. A dynasty in every sense of the word.
And if these data are not enough to put the Chiefs on that level, it must be said that in the Patrick Mahomes era they have never played an away playoff game, something that absolutely no franchise that has reached five playoffs in a row can boast in the history of the NFL.
The bright future that awaits the Chiefs
It took the Chiefs a half-century to win a Super Bowl again after they lifted their first Vince Lombardi Trophy in Edition IV, and since Mahomes has been a starter only six franchises have more than them (New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers and New York Giants). The future suggests they will soon be fewer.
In short, Patrick Mahomes is right, the future looks like more success is on the horizon for the Chiefs, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t already the new dynasty in NFL history.
Patrick Mahomes is a devoted man to his wife Brittany Matthews and after Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s marriage is probably the most famous in the entire NFL. However, something we didn’t know until the day of Super Bowl LVII is that the league’s reigning MVP has a lucky underwear.
This secret was revealed by Brittany who made it public knowledge that this is what Mahomes is wearing under his uniform, with a luxury of detail that draws powerful attention, but that is also part of the personality of the famous and enterprising woman.

What do Patrick Mahomes’ underwear look like?
“I bought Patrick lucky game day underwear,” Matthews said. “Red underwear from Lululemon, and he’s worn them every game day.”
Patrick Mahomes’ wife’s revelation wasn’t the only headline the Kansas City Current minority owner didn’t give away, as she complained about the difficulties of owning the heart of the NFL’s man of the hour.
“I had to change my phone number because people were texting me and harassing me and saying all these mean hateful things to me,” Matthews said. “It’s hard because I have feelings just like they do. When they say stuff like I am ugly and Patrick could do better than me, they have no earthly idea what they are saying.”
Patrick Mahomes’ marriage story
Mahomes and Matthews have been a couple since they were in high school together and have two children together, the quarterback proposed to her in a box at Arrowhead Stadium at the ceremony where the Texas Tech graduate was presented with a ring for winning Super Bowl LIV.
The Chiefs have won the AFC championship in three of the last four seasons and are looking to win the third Vince Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is looking to become the first reigning MVP in over two decades to also win the Super Bowl in the same NFL season.
The last player to win league MVP and a Lombardi Trophy in the same year was Kurt Warner in 1999.

The last nine reigning MVPs who played in the Super Bowl have all lost, including Warner in 2001.
Tom Brady was the most recent league MVP to lose a SB. Ironically, it was against none other than the Eagles.
Mahomes, 27, can snap the streak Sunday in Super Bowl LVII with a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium.
Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts will become the first Black starting quarterbacks to face off in the Super Bowl when the Kansas City Chiefs (14-3) take on the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) in a couple of weeks.
In 1988, Doug Williams became the first Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He was also the first Black QB to start in the big game.

Since then, only two other Black QBs have been able to claim an NFL title, but others haven’t been as fortunate.
Steve McNair, Donovan McNabb, Colin Kaepernick and Cam Newton are four Black quarterbacks who unfortunately fell short at the Super Bowl.
Russell Wilson became the second Black QB to win a ring when he led the Seattle Seahawks past the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, 26 years after Williams’ achievement.
Hurts could become fourth Black QB to win SB
Mahomes became the third when he won the SB in 2020, a victory over the San Francisco 49ers. He’s now close to making more history as a Black QB, but not if Hurts gets in the way.
Hurts has a chance at becoming the fourth Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl. If Mahomes wins, though, he will become the first Black starting QB to win multiple Super Bowl rings.
Mahomes vs. Hurts is also the youngest quarterback matchup (combined age of 51 years, 337 days) to battle in a Super Bowl, according to ESPN.
Super Bowl LVII will be played at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Kickoff is schedule for Sunday, Feb. 12 at 18:30 ET on Fox.
Only two quarterbacks have been able to defeat fellow Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes three times in his successful young career, one being his opponent this Sunday, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals and the other the most decorated quarterback in history, Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
That is why it is interesting to talk about the relationship between Mahomes and Brady, who famously faced each other in Super Bowl LV with victory for the more veteran of the two. In general the particular series between them is 3-3 and the admiration is mutual, as evidenced by the great revelation that has made the top candidate for MVP this year.

The experience of seeing Tom Brady in the eyes of Patrick Mahomes
As it turns out, Mahomes revealed to NBC Sports’ Hayley Lewis that Brady reached out to him minutes after the Chiefs’ Divisional Round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and this time, in an appearance on the New Heights podcast he made his first close-up with his childhood idol public knowledge.
“It’s crazy, it was a game I didn’t even play in,” Patrick Mahomes said. “It was the first game we played we went to New England on Thursday night opening. They dropped the banner, all this different type of stuff. And I remember running out in the field and being like, “Holy… This is the NFL…’”

When did Patrick Mahomes first saw Tom Brady?
The Super Bowl LIV MVP is referring to the Kickoff game of the 2017 season where Kansas City soundly defeated the New England Patriots, who were defending their Super Bowl LI championship when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime.
“Obviously, we had a heck of a game, Kareem Hunt had a heck of a game and Alex (Smith), and so we ended up winning that game. To me, that was the first moment of being like, ‘Man, this is the NFL.’ I watched Tom Brady my entire life. So, I’m like we’re playing Tom Brady, the New England Patriots.”
After the win against the Denver Broncos, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs not only increased their record to 13-3, but the Kansas City QB matched a mark that only two players in NFL history have achieved: multiple seasons with 5,000 or more yards passing.
Mahomes, the frontrunner to reach the NFL MVP this season, had a 328-yard game, 3 TDs and 1 INT, surpassing the 5,000 mark for the season by 48 yards. With this, he becomes the third QB in NFL history to have multiple campaigns surpassing that mark.
Mahomes did it in the last quarter of the game
Mahomes surpassed 5,000 yards on the year during the final quarter of the Chiefs’ divisional matchup against the Broncos, when he connected with Blake Bell for a 17-yard touchdown.
With this, Mahomes has his second season surpassing that figure, the same as Tom Brady. They are surpassed by Drew Brees, who with the New Orleans Saints achieved that feat on five occasions.
The first time Mahomes accomplished it was in 2018, when he took home NFL MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors for the season. He currently leads the NFL in multiple statistics, including passing touchdowns (40).
They close against Raiders, who were eliminated after losing to SF
The Chiefs and Mahomes will try to improve their record to 14-3 next week when they visit the Las Vegas Raiders, who put up a great fight against the San Francisco 49ers at home, but lost 37-34 and are officially eliminated from the Playoffs.
Kansas can still be the No. 1 seed in the AFC depending on what happens on Monday Night with the Buffalo Bills, who visit the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is proof that, contrary to popular belief, it is possible to leave the friend zone. His wife, Brittany, told the story of how she didn’t like him at first because they were best friends.
The love story between Patrick and Brittany started off with a Valentine’s Day joke, as told by the mother of two during an interview with Vitatity.

“But I never liked him,” Brittany said. “We were just best friends. So then, I think his sophomore year, my junior year. yeah, he brought this little Valentine’s gift for me at lunch one day. It was like a heart like card that said Happy Valentine’s Day and like a rose or something and he just like brought it to me as a funny joke, but like I thought it was the cutest thing in the world.
“Everyone in the cafeteria started chanting like kiss her kiss her to him and I was like, Okay, this is embarrassing. From then on. I think that’s where I just kind of started getting a crush on him. And then, boom, we just fell in love.”
The pair of high school sweethearts have been together ever since. Brittany has been alongside Patrick through the NFL Draft and Super Bowl victory.
Brittany Mahomes does not deserve the hate
Despite countless trolls constantly trying to tear down Brittany, she and Patrick have never given any hater the time of day.
Being the wife of the league’s greatest quarterback is not easy, so Brittany deserves a lot of credit for keeping her composure amid negativity.
The couple have two children: newborn Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III and two-year-old Sterling Skye Mahomes.
Mahomes, 27, is currently having an MVP-caliber season, which will likely still be the case when his children are old enough to attend a Chiefs game live.
Two of the most talented young quarterbacks in the NFL are Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, who will face each other in Week 11 on Sunday Night Football.
Both teams are with winning records (Chiefs 7-2 and Chargers 5-4), so it’s expected to be a high-scoring game with both QBs excelling with their aerial game.
‘Justin can do things I can’t’: Mahomes
According to FOX Kansas City commentator Rob Collins, Mahomes praised the talent of his upcoming opponent saying he is a special talent. “Justin Herbert is a special talent, he throws passes that I don’t think anyone else can throw in this league, including me.”
To date, Herbert has completed 65.8% of his passes, for 2,450 yards, 14 TDs and 6 INTs, not bad numbers that the Chargers QB hopes to improve in his duel against one of the favorites to reach the Super Bowl from the American Conference.
A game that promises a high-scoring duel
Herbert has had to suffer several injuries to his Chargers teammates, so he has had to carry the team by himself in recent games. For his part, Mahomes has the Chiefs with a 7-2 record and in first place in the AFC West.
Kansas City has the best passing offense in the league, while the Chargers are fifth, so the duel at SoFi Stadium will be one of the most anticipated of the season.
