We’re Super Bowl champs, baby!” Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid echoed this sentiment when commenting on Mahomes’ MVP status during the Super Bowl LVII press conference:
“He’s the MVP. That’s all that needs to be said: MVP.”
Although the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t take home the win, their quarterback Jalen Hurts put on a show of his own – with three rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown in the Super Bowl LV matchup.
