NFL cameras caught Patrick Mahomes’ heartwarming message to head coach Andy Reid following the Kansas City Chiefs’ walk-off victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58.
Mahomes threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime to walk it off inside Allegiant Stadium. With the victory, the Chiefs cemented themselves as a dynasty and became the first team to win consecutive Super Bowls since the 2003 and ’04 New England Patriots.
“Inside the NFL” cameras caught Mahomes delivering the most wholesome message to coach Reid and his wife, Tammy, during the post-game celebration.
“Can I get in on this? I love y’all,” Mahomes said. “How crazy is that, huh? How crazy is that, huh? Yes sir…what a call huh? What a call. Oh, my gosh. Woo!”
So much love between @PatrickMahomes and Coach Reid. ❤️ (via @NFLFilms)

Mahomes won his third Super Bowl MVP as well, completing 34 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also finished as KC’s leading rusher with 66 yards on nine carries.
Incredibly, all three of Mahomes’ Super Bowl victories ended with a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter or overtime. And in all three of those games, his team trailed by double-digits at some point.
The Chiefs were underdogs for each of their final three playoff games, and they came out on top in a late nailbiter ever single time. Indeed, there is no questioning who the best player in football is right now.
Up next, Mahomes and coach Reid will try to help the Chiefs become the first team ever to win three straight Super Bowl championships.
