Patrick Mahomes was the deserving MVP of Super Bowl 58. But the Kansas City Chiefs defense was the team’s collective MVP during the 2023 season. Having a good defense allowed the Chiefs to figure things out on offense throughout the season, and that continued against the San Francisco 49ers in their 25-22 Super Bowl victory. Kansas City’s defense ranked fifth in EPA per play during the regular season, while the offense ranked 11th.

Patrick Mahomes changed the sport six years ago. From the moment Mahomes stepped on the field in 2018, it was clear there was nobody else like him. We wouldn't yet know the heights he would reach, but there was a presence about him, an unabashed willingness to create and try things only possible for an unbelievably talented player who didn't know any better than to indulge every intrusive thought. Early Mahomes was neither clean nor conventional, but he was overwhelming regardless.
