Patrick Mahomes is the 2024 Super Bowl MVP!

Mahomes, 28, won the trophy after the Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the third time in his career that he has won the honor.

Mahomes took home the MVP in overtime. During overtime, San Francisco made a field goal to go up by 3 points over Kansas City, but Mahomes and the Chiefs scored the game-winning touchdown in the final minutes of Super Bowl LVIII.

Mahomes was asked how he kept his cool to make the winning run and said it was a “microcosm” of their season. The quarterback praised his team’s “defense” for “keeping us in there,” and “of course, Harrison Butker,” who tied the game with a field goal to go into overtime.

Patrick added that he was “proud of the boys and the coaches” for the win.

Patrick became the first back-to-back Super Bowl MVP since Terry Bradshaw won it twice by leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to back-to-back Super Bowl XIII and XIV victories in 1979 and 1980.

Green Bay Packers legend Bart Starr did it in Super Bowls I and II in 1968 and 1969, according to ESPN.

And the Chiefs quarterback became just the third player ever to win three or more Super Bowl MVP trophies — Tom Brady won five and San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana won three, according to ESPN.

After the win, Patrick celebrated on the field with his teammates and head coach Andy Reid.
