Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked skyward after leading his team to a thrilling victory over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime on Sunday, and his message was clear: credit goes to God.
In an interview reported by the Daily Wire, Mahomes expressed his gratitude to a higher power. "I just got to give God the glory," he said. "He challenged us to make us better. And I am so proud of my guys, man, this is awesome. It’s legendary."
Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, has consistently acknowledged his faith in moments of triumph. This isn't the first time he's spoken about his relationship with God. When he was awarded the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the 2022 season, Mahomes thanked God for the platform and support system that helped him achieve his dreams.
He also shared his faith at a Super Bowl event last year, emphasizing the importance of his Christian beliefs in guiding his actions both on and off the field. "My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do," Mahomes said. "I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name."
Mahomes' faith was especially poignant last year when he recovered from an injury to lead the Chiefs to victory in the AFC Championship. "First off, I wanna thank God, man," he said. "He healed my body this week, had to battle through that. He gave me the strength to be out here."
Through his words and actions, Mahomes exemplifies a deep connection to his faith, using it as a source of strength and guidance in both triumph and adversity.
