Chiefs' QB has powerful moment after doing the unthinkable

The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship, which is a phrase I don't know if we were confident in saying.
But, they got it done, and it was a full team effort. It wasn't just Patrick Mahomes going off, or just Travis Kelce. It wasn't just the defense or just the offense. It was an entire team effort.
"It took my teammates," Mahomes said on the CBS broadcast after the win. "I truly believe that just to come out here and battle against a great football team and took everybody, I told our team into the locker room, it's gonna be all of us, so we're gonna play together. And that's what we did as a full team. And how about Harrison Butker knocking through that field goal baby?"
The Guys played their tails off and left it all on the field. The Chiefs were without their best cornerback, second-best linebacker, and three best receivers as the third quarter came to an end, with the Chiefs gearing up for a fourth-quarter run with a hobbled Mahomes.
Yet, they still got the win. It was guys like Marques Valdez-Scantling, Isiah Pacheco, Jaylen Watson, Joshua Williams, and even Bryan Cook, who made huge plays time and time again.
It was Chris Jones, Frank Clark, and the rest of the defensive line giving quality reps getting to Joe Burrow. This team played with their hearts, and you can see that in the way Mahomes praised them after the game.
The Chiefs are heading to play the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, something that I don't know how many people would have guessed before the season, for both teams.
For the Chiefs, the narrative was that the Chiefs were going to be on the outside of the playoffs looking in without Tyreek Hill on the roster. For the Eagles, no one had faith in Jalen Hurts being a great quarterback. Both teams will meet in Arizona.
