The NFL faced several challenges this season, with several high-profile incidents, including Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsing on the field due to a cardiac arrest, and concerns over the league’s handling of player health, especially concussions, after Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a hit.
Despite a high ankle sprain, Mahomes fought through the playoffs and delivered a resilient performance in the Super Bowl. His efforts helped the Chiefs secure a 38-35 victory over the Eagles, cementing his status as the face of the NFL after the retirement of Tom Brady.
The Super Bowl was also a historic moment for the NFL, as it was the first time that two Black starting quarterbacks, Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, faced off in the championship game. This year’s Super Bowl will go down in history as a testament to the talent and resilience of the NFL’s best players.
