The win also meant Kansas City head coach Andy Reid sheds the title of the being the coach with the most wins to never have won a Super Bowl in NFL history. Reid went into the match with 221 wins to his credit through his time spent between the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. It was Reid's second Super Bowl as head coach, after his Eagles lost to the New England Patriots in 2004.
Comeback wins were a theme of the Chiefs' charge to becoming Super Bowl champions, with the Kansas City side having to come from behind in all three of their playoff matches this season, including the Super Bowl.
Mahomes was named the most valuable player of the game, after completing 26 of his 42 pass attempts for 286 yards, throwing two touchdown passes while rushing for a touchdown of his own.
