Patrick Mahomes wins 2023 Super Bowl MVP after battling through ankle injury

Patrick Mahomes will be taking home two trophies on Sunday.

After Kansas City defeated Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, Mahomes was named MVP of Super Bowl 57 and it wasn’t hard to understand why.

The quarterback battled through an ankle injury and still finished with 182 yards passing, three touchdowns and 44 yards rushing while leading his team back from a 10-point halftime deficit.

Mahomes was the odds-on favorite to win MVP at +130 with Jalen Hurts right behind him at +150. Travis Kelce (+1100) and AJ Brown (+1600) had the next best odds, respectively.

Mahomes also broke a streak of eight straight NFL regular season MVPs who went on to lose the Super Bowl.

Los Angeles Rams wideout Cooper Kupp won the award last year after quarterbacks won the previous two MVPs. No other position has won MVP since linebacker Von Miller was named Super Bowl 50 MVP in 2016.
