One of the greatest finals in Super Bowl history. The Kansas City Chiefs, guided by Patrick Mahomes overcoming a painful ankle, won the third Super Bowl in their history, beating (38-35) the Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday February 12 in Glendale (Arizona), after a thrilling epilogue to the NFL championship. It’s a 27-yard kick from Harrison Butker, who delivered Kansas City, 8 seconds from the siren and after a breathless suspense.
The Missouri team succeeds the Los Angeles Rams, for its third attempt on the last step in four years, after a failure in 2021 and a victory in 2020. And Mahomes confirms that he is a credible heir to Tom Brady in the NFL, even if with this second ring, he is still far from the seven of his glorious eldest, neo-retired.
Suspense throughout the game
Led by the score for three quarters during, ten lengths at half-time, they went through all the emotions, hanging on the fate of Mahomes, when, at the end of the second quarter, it was done again pain in the right ankle, already battered by a sprain during the play-offs. His grimace of pain indeed raised fears of an inability to continue this 57th Super Bowl.
With courage, he managed to revive his team in the third quarter, with a 14-yard run, prior to the touchdown of running-back Isaiah Pacheco (24-21). The suspense then quickly resumed its rights in this spectacular poster, between the two best teams of the season, “driven” by the two best quarterbacks.
