The emergence of Patrick Mahomes has been a welcome surprise for the massive Kansas City Chiefs fanbase. His equation with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce has been one of the deadliest attacking combinations in the NFL since 2018. 

Mahomes won his first NFL MVP title in 2018. He followed that up by leading the Chiefs to the Super Bowl LIV title the following season. This was the Chiefs’ first Lombardi win since 1970, a gap of 50 years.

 He was rewarded with a bumper 10-year extension in 2020 worth north of $500 million. His new deal will see him stay with Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs until 2034 at least.

“Finally, we have the quarterback of the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes. He was voted most likely to be the best thing to happen to Kansas since the Wizard of Oz. There you go,” Fallon said on the show.

Mahomes was crucial for the Chiefs as they made a playoff run last season. He went 27 of 36, throwing for 337 yards with 3 passing touchdowns to his name.

He will once again be at the forefront for the Chiefs as they take on Lamar Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are yet to win a game this season. They will look to make the most of the home support at the M&T Bank Stadium this weekend.
