Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play in tonight's Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles. The NFL MVP has been active all week, and he looks poised to lead the Chiefs on a Super Bowl mission on Sunday.
Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in the Chiefs' divisional-round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Analysts and doctors speculated that he would be unavailable for two weeks. However, uber-competitive Mahomes rejected that notion. He started in the Conference game against the Cincinnati Bengals, helping the Chiefs win.
Mahomes' next trick will be to start his third Super Bowl game and win his second title. Kansas City Chiefs fans will hope his presence will inspire the team to a win against the Eagles.
How has Patrick Mahomes performed this season?
Patrick Mahomes has been excellent all season long, with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback arguably having his best professional season ever. He led the Chiefs to a stellar run, ensuring that the franchise made it to its third Super Bowl game in the past five seasons.
Without his favorite wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, who moved to the Miami Dolphins, Mahomes relentlessly fed the ball to Travis Kelce, which yielded great results.
Mahomes and Kelce were picked as Pro Bowl starters, and will hope to have a strong connection when they take the field for Super Bowl LVII at the State Farm Stadium on Sunday.
Furthermore, the Texas Tech alum was named the league MVP for the second time in his career, beating competition from Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen. He put up a stat line of 5,250 passing yards, 41 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions for the regular season.
Patrick Mahomes fantasy outlook
Fantasy football managers have grown to appreciate Mahomes' output over the years, and the 2022-23 season wasn't any different. He scored 428.40 fantasy points at a stunning average of 25.20 points per game in 17 games. Mahomes was the highest-scoring fantasy QB by quite some margin.
Mahomes will look to have another strong game in Sunday's Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles defense must be inspired to nullify the Kansas City quarterback's otherworldly talents in the pocket.
