Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes now joins the legion of Lombardi Trophy quarterbacks after leading the Chiefs to one of the most impressive comebacks in Super Bowl history. It was a first Super Bowl for the Chiefs in over five decades and a first-ever Super Bowl as a head coach for Andy Reid. Andy Reid was later asked how he planned on celebrating the Super Bowl LIV win at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The Chiefs coach said he would celebrate with "the biggest cheeseburger you've ever seen." His star quarterback had a wildly different plan for the Super Bowl LIV celebration.

Super Bowl 2020 highlights

Were it not for a fourth-quarter blitz from the Chiefs, the Super Bowl 2020 highlights reel would have been dominated by Nick Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers' defence. While the Nick Bosa and Dee Ford-led defence did well to suffocate the Chiefs all the way to the third quarter, Patrick Mahomes turned on the style late in the game. The Chiefs exploded out of the blocks in the fourth quarter as they overturned a double-digit deficit to rack up 21 unanswered points late on. Despite throwing two interceptions, Patrick Mahomes went home, or rather to Disney World, with the Super Bowl MVP award as he finished 26-of-42 for 286 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, adding 29 rushing yards along the way.
