Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes had nothing but praise for God after the Kansas City team sealed a third trip in a row to the Super Bowl with a 32-29 victory against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.
Seconds after the Chiefs became AFC Champions again, a CBS sportscaster caught up with Mahomes and asked him, pointing to the team’s chance to make history as threepeat SB champions, “How do you even describe this one, this opportunity ahead?”
Super Bowl LIX will be held on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“I mean, first off, I want to give all glory to God,” Mahomes told the reporter. “Without him, none of this is possible. And I truly mean that.”
“And I’m just so proud of my teammates and how they responded,” he added. “That was a great football team and I’m just at a loss of words … I’m excited for New Orleans.”
“First off, I want to give all glory to God. Without Him none of this is possible and I truly mean that.”

It is not the first time the future NFL Hall of Famer has been open about his faith. Following the Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL star credited God with the team’s win, as previously reported.
Mahomes spoke to the press immediately after the Chiefs won the big game for the second consecutive year and said, “I just got to give God the glory” as he praised his team members for never faltering during the difficult season.
“He [God] challenged us to make us better,” Mahomes added. “And I am so proud of my guys man, this is awesome. It’s legendary.”
Mahomes has often spoken about his faith. In February 2023, he praised God after he scored the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2022 season.
“First, I want to thank God for giving me this platform and putting so many amazing people around me to help support this dream I’ve had since I was a little kid,” Mahomes said. “Without Him, none of this would be possible.”
The Chiefs quarterback previously discussed Christianity with reporters at a Super Bowl event two years ago.
“My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do,” Mahomes revealed.
“I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name,” he added. “Obviously it will be on a huge stage in the Super Bowl that He’s given me and I want to make sure I’m glorifying Him while I do it.”
