The Kansas City Chiefs pulled out a gutsy performance winning Super Bowl LVII 38-35 over the Philadelphia Eagles. A thrilling finish from Kansas City as Harrison Butker’s field goal in the final seconds was the difference as the Chiefs won a wild Super Bowl and are world champions for the second time in four years. Twitter users captured the highlights and lowlights of the game.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the Super Bowl LVII win:
Patrick Mahomes connects with Travis Kelce for a 18 yard touchdown on team's opening drive
The dynamic duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce struck again on the Chiefs’ opening drive. Following the Eagles’ score on their drive, Mahomes connected with Kelce twice on the drive finding holes in Philadelphia’s secondary. Kelce passed Rob Gronkowski for second all-time in postseason touchdown receptions. Twitter users praised Kelce’s early dominance.
Travis Kelce now has 16 career playoff receiving touchdowns, the second most in NFL history.

Harrison Butker doinks first quarter field goal attempt
Butker’s inconsistency rears its head early as he misses a 42-yard field goal attempt in the first quarter. The same field in which he suffered an injury in Week 1 plays a factor in the first special teams’ miscue. The ball doink off the left goalpost, much to the dismay of many fans on Twitter.
Harrison Butker has certainly had some kicking adventures at State Farm Stadium this year. Misses from 42 that would have given Chiefs lead.

Okay, quite obviously, the Chiefs should have gone for it there. Butker failure stinks. Let's go defense.

Nick Bolton forces fumble recovery for a touchdown
The Chiefs’ defense capitalizes on a Jalen Hurts mistake with Nick Bolton stripping and scooping the ball on the way to a second-quarter touchdown. The former Missouri star has been a tackling machine all season, showing his ability to force takeaways and change the complexion of a game. Twitter had plenty to say about Bolton and his incredible play.
This was All Nick Bolton.

Amazing how games pivot. Hurts just lost handle on that and Bolton got exactly the right bounce to scoop it up in stride for 36-yard TD. Came just as Eagles were on move threatening to take double-digit lead and right after false start penalty likely changed offensive script.

Not an unforced error. Bolton was making breakfast in Hurts’s kitchen.

Patrick Mahomes limps off the field in pain
The Chiefs franchise quarterback has been nursing a high ankle sprain since the divisional-round victory over the Jaguars. He appeared fine for most of the week, but following a drive-ending tackle late in the first half, he began wincing in apparent pain heading to the sidelines. Twitter observers chimed in on the injury as the Chiefs trailed in the first half.

I was worried about Patrick Mahomes high ankle sprain before the game and I’m really worried about it now after that injury. #SBLVIII
— Kelsey Nicole Nelson (KNN) (@therealknelson) February 13, 2023
This was always the concern. Patrick Mahomes was obviously feeling better this week, but the ankle remains vulnerable as the ligaments aren’t fully healed.
It doesn’t take much for they ankle to roll inward again, stressing the high ankle. pic.twitter.com/njmCBIrFtk

Looked like Darius Slay thought Kadarius Toney was gonna motion across the whole formation but it was just a short motion.
Toney walks in. #Chiefs lead.
