Throughout the Kansas City Chiefs’ run to their Super Bowl 57 win, Patrick Mahomes avoided much of the trash talk that teammates like Travis Kelce took part in. After all, he had his biggest fan, Pat Mahomes Sr., for that.
But come Sunday, even Pat Sr. was in awe of his son’s gutsy performance.
Mahomes — playing on a high-ankle sprain that he would eventually re-aggravate — carried the Chiefs to a 38-35 win over the Eagles with a second-half performance for the ages. When the game ended, the Chiefs quarterback spotted his father behind a barrier and shared a long embrace.
Thanks to NFL Films, we can hear what was said in that moment.
This moment with @PatrickMahomes and his dad after #SBLVII is incredible. 🥲

Mahomes Sr. hugged his son and said:
“I ain’t never seen nothing like you. You different! You different. I love you. I love you to death, baby. You know I do. Damn, you’re good.”
The two ended the exchange with an emphatic high-five. Mahomes knows he did well when his own father can’t believe how good he is.
We’re certain to see more clips like that as NFL Films puts together its footage, but fans enjoyed this look at a sentimental father-son moment.
