No lead is safe against any Patrick Mahomes team. If you want any proof, then look no further than the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl 58 victory against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
The Chiefs trailed by 10 in the second quarter of the game, but they ended up winning in overtime after tying things up 19-all in the final quarter.
With the feat, Mahomes actually improved his playoff record during games where his Chiefs trail by seven points or more.
Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl 58 Comeback
Both the Chiefs and 49ers had a rough start in the game, with the first quarter even ending scoreless as the two teams buckle up defensively and force each other into a number of errors.
However, the Niners struck first and got off from there as they took a 10-0 lead in the second quarter. The Chiefs were able to score via field goal before halftime, but at 10-3, they were facing a ton of pressure to turn things around.
The Chiefs were able to take the lead in the third quarter, with a Mahomes TD pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling hyping up all of Kansas City. Nonetheless, the two teams went on a back-and-forth in the final quarter before settling for a tie and forcing OT.
Unfortunately for the 49ers, while they were able to score a field goal in overtime to take the 22-19 lead, the Chiefs didn’t waste their chance on offense and went for the win. Another Mahomes touchdown pass, this time to Mecole Hardman sealed the deal and the 25-22 victory for Kansas City.
The win gave Mahomes and Co. their third title in five years. They also became the first team since the 2004 and 2005 New England Patriots to secure back-to-back Super Bowls.
Patrick Mahomes’ Incredible Playoff Record With Kansas City Chiefs
Even better for Patrick Mahomes, he actually cemented himself as the greatest comeback quarterback in the NFL.
Including the Super Bowl 58 victory, Mahomes is now 9-2 in playoff games where he found his team trailing by at least seven points. Among the other quarterbacks who have faced a similar situation, only the Kansas City Chiefs QB owns a winning record.
Furthermore, in the Super Bowl, Mahomes has actually trailed by double digits in all of his four appearances. As everyone knows, the superstar is now 3-1 in the big game–with his only loss coming in 2020 against Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Sure enough, no one can argue that Mahomes is the comeback king of the NFL playoffs.
