The Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl LVIII was revealed as Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes following the 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He earned it, leading a tight comeback in overtime.
In a world where he was disqualified, several Chiefs’ defenders made their own case for the game’s MVP. The unit withstood blows from San Francisco’s offense to make crucial plays, allowing Mahomes to be the hero at the end.
Like many times this season, the defense made the difference between a close win and an avoidable loss.
