After four quarters of hard-fought football, the Kansas City Chiefs are this year’s Super Bowl champions.
It was a home and away game with the Chiefs starting strong only to suffer a number of second quarter setbacks. As the game ended at halftime, the Philadelphia Eagles led 24-14 and Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes limped off the field with a potentially game-ending ankle injury.
But Mahomes ended up playing and was instrumental in bringing the Chiefs back in the fourth quarter. A late Eagles rally was snuffed out by the Kansas City defense — and a little help from a dodgy call from the umpires. Glad to see that MMA isn’t the only sport where officials end up affecting things dramatically.
The final score: Chiefs 38, Eagles 35.
Oh, and almost everyone agrees that Rihanna rocked the solo halftime show, and she did it while pregnant, too.
Now let’s see what UFC fighters had to say about the game, from the very start of the night to the fateful final moments that decided the winners.
All good people! Enjoy the super bowl! Stay hydrated today!

I have to take Philly tonight. KC and the bills have a bit of a rivalry, and you can’t root for your haters, it’s sport 101. Have some homies in Philadelphia, too #gobirds ?

For me, it’s a completed pass and then a forced fumble by excellent defensive timing, but hey, what the fuck do I know. Referees change the game again

Did it really hold..? Who knows, but it doesn’t matter now. Chefs are super bowl champions

Mahomes will likely win another 5-6 Superbowls if we’re being honest! They won with little investment in attack and defense. What happens when they spend a little #SuperBowl

What kind of knock do you think Mahomes received in the ankle at half-time?
