Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has showcased exceptional performance in his recent playoff appearances. Over his last six playoff starts, Mahomes has achieved a 70% completion percentage with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions, a feat matched only by Joe Montana since 1970, over an 8-game span. Additionally, Mahomes' statistics from his three Super Bowl starts include 743 passing yards, 6 touchdowns, 78 yards rushing, and an average passer rating of 92.2. In his last four games, he has thrown 132 passes without a single interception. Entering tonight's Super Bowl, Mahomes is an underdog for the third consecutive game, a situation he has previously overcome by winning all three games and throwing his first 13 career touchdowns. His performance against top defenses and under challenging conditions, including two games while injured and one in -30 degrees, has contributed to a 6-0 record for Kansas City in these playoff games. Mahomes also has a notable record as an underdog, with a 9-3 straight-up record (3-0 in playoffs) and a 10-1-1 record against the spread.
