The Kansas City Chiefs relied on their defence and Patrick Mahomes to claim a hard-earned 38-35 win in the Super Bowl over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mahomes and the Chiefs did it the hard way in their third Super Bowl in four years, with the quarterback’s ongoing ankle injury threatening to bring his side undone.
