Kansas City trailed by ten points at the half when Rihanna graced the stage at State Farm Stadium.

But Patrick Mahomes fought through the pain barrier to lead the Chiefs back from 24-14 down to win a 38-35 classic.

The injured quarterback threw three touchdown passes, two of which came in the second half.

He was also crowned Super Bowl MVP to add to the NFL MVP award he scooped earlier in the week.

Mahomes said: “We challenge each other as a team, it took everybody to win this football game.

"Shout out to my teammates, Super Bowl champions baby – let’s go!"

Mahomes found Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore to give the Eagles an unlikely lead in the second half.

Jalen Hurts threw one touchdown pass and ran in three more - including to tie it at 35-35 with five minutes to play.

He has been in the championship game for three of the last four years.

And the 27-year-old warrior looks like he'll be back on the grandest stage for years to come.

Mahomes added: "I’m not going to say dynasty yet – we’re not done.
