Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave God the glory after winning Super Bowl LVIII Sunday night, saying that the Lord “challenged” his team as it faced adversity all season. Mahomes has often spoken about his faith when presented with the opportunity. He told reporters before last year’s Super Bowl that his faith plays a role in everything he does. 

“My Christian faith plays a role in everything that I do,” Mahomes told the press. “I mean, I always ask God to lead me in the right direction and let me be who I am for His name.”

Mahomes, who threw for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception en route to winning his third Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award, said in a post-game interview on CBS that the team dealt with adversity all season as the offense struggled at times. “It means a ton. Just the adversity we dealt with this year and to come through. The guys never faltered,” the 28-year-old father of two said. “I give God the glory. He challenged us to make us better. I am proud of my guys. They did awesome. Legendary.”

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt also gave glory to God in his comments after receiving the Vince Lombardi Trophy on stage.  

“First of all I want to congratulate [head coach] Andy [Reid], the football team, our coaching staff on an incredible performance. It’s been an amazing five-year run,” Hunt said. “I want to thank the Lord for giving us this opportunity.”

God is in control of all that happens in His World so I ask could God have honoured these two men’s faith with a win? The secular media would not agree but I think so.
