Mahomes is the youngest player in history to win both the MVP and the Super Bowl and the third youngest Super Bowl MVP.
Coupled with the MVP title he won last season, Sunday's triumph makes the quarterback the youngest player to ever win both the award as best player in the league and the Lombardi Trophy., the only player in history along with Tom Brady to scoop the award before turning 25. Brady won the first of his four Super Bowl MVP crowns in 2002, when the New England Patriots defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-17 in Super Bowl XXXVI.
The Chiefs signal caller also threw two interceptions, marking the first time this season he had multiple picks in the same game. The interceptions proved to be inconsequential and, in fact, only added to Mahomes' record-breaking performance as he is now the only quarterback along with Brady and Terry Bradshaw to throw multiple interceptions in the NFL's biggest game and win the Lombardi Trophy.
"I knew we weren't in the ideal situation. I believed in my defense to get stops, and they did," he said after the game."Then the guys kept believing in me and kept making plays downfield, and we found a way to win."
