Patrick Mahomes did something last accomplished by Kurt Warner in 1999

Patrick Mahomes joined Kurt Warner as the last two QBs to win NFL MVP and the Super Bowl in the same season

Just a few days before Super Bowl LVII, Patrick Mahomes was named NFL MVP of the 2022 season. It was a deserved honor for the Chiefs quarterback, but potentially a bad omen for his team in the big game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The previous nine quarterbacks who won league MVP and also reached the Super Bowl went on to lose.

The last quarterback to win MVP and win the Super Bowl in the same season was Kurt Warner, who accomplished the feat in 1999 when he led the Rams to a win over the Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. With the Chiefs beating the Eagles on Sunday night, Mahomes became the second quarterback since 1999 to win NFL MVP and the Super Bowl in the same season.

Brett Favre, Steve Young, Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Bart Starr are the only other quarterbacks besides Mahomes and Warner to accomplish this feat.

It was a remarkable season by Mahomes, one that couldn’t have ended any better for himself and the Chiefs. This year alone, he won league MVP, Super Bowl MVP, and led the NFL in passing yards and touchdown passes.

Only Warner and two other quarterbacks have ever done all of that in their careers, yet Mahomes accomplished it in one season.
