The Last 5 Super Bowl MVPs

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl LVII. Patrick Mahomes was named the Super Bowl MVP, adding to his collection of awards and trophies, having previously won it in Super Bowl LIV.

It's worth noting that few players have won the Super Bowl MVP more than once. Here is a list of the last five players to win the coveted award.

Julian Edelman was awarded the Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl LIII, which was the lowest-scoring game in the history of the event, with the New England Patriots defeating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3. Edelman's outstanding performance included 10 receptions for 141 receiving yards.

Despite his Super Bowl heroics, Edelman was never selected for the Pro Bowl and did not score a touchdown during the 2018 playoff run, including the Super Bowl game in which he won the award.

Mahomes joined a select class of players like Brady and Joe Montana by winning his second Super Bowl MVP award. The game against the Eagles was a high-scoring affair that ended in favor of the Chiefs, 38-35.

Despite the Eagles' loss, Jalen Hurts had an outstanding performance that saw him throw for 304 yards, 1 passing touchdown, and three rushing touchdowns. He also had one fumble that was picked up for a touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes has been a starting QB for 5 seasons and is a:

*2x Super Bowl Champion
*2x Super Bowl MVP
*2x Regular Season MVP
*3x AFC Champion
*5x AFC West Champion
*5x Pro Bowler

And he’s only 27. https://t.co/ap3C1zenSU

Hurts set an NFL record for the best stats of a losing Super Bowl quarterback, an impressive accomplishment in its own right.

Mahomes, however, ultimately won the award for his performance in the game. He threw for 182 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, despite nursing an ankle injury that was aggravated during the second quarter of the game.
