Mahomes showed some impressive moves, as he managed to run 44 yards while carrying the ball in just six turns. His longest run during the game recorded at 26 yards. However, in the Super Bowl LV event, the Chiefs lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a score of 31-9. Mahomes tried his best to help his team out by running with the ball, but he only managed to get 33 yards in a total of five attempts.
During the 2019 season, Mahomes led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl triumph. They conquered the 49ers with a 31-20 scoreline. Mahomes had an impressive performance, scoring a touchdown and running for 29 yards on nine attempts.
Even though achieving record feats is great, Mahomes has his sights set on a larger goal: Securing his third championship ring.
