Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes won his third Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award on Sunday after leading the Chiefs to a thrilling 25-22 overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.
The three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time league MVP marched his team down the field in overtime, rushed to convert on fourth down and capped the comeback win with a three-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mecole Hardman.
Mahomes was quick to credit his team mates for the triumph in Las Vegas.
"What we've come through, dealt with this year, the guys never faltered," he said.
"I just got to give God the glory man, he challenged us to make us better. I'm proud of my guys man, this is awesome, it's legendary.
The Chiefs have now won three Super Bowls in the last five seasons.
"It's the start of (a dynasty), we're not done. I know we're going to celebrate tonight but we got a young team, we going to keep this thing going."
