The Kansas City Chiefs are officially back-to-back Super Bowl champions and former stars Tyreek Hill and Tyrann Mathieu were two of the first NFL players to react publicly after the 25-22 overtime thriller over the San Francisco 49ers.
“My brothers win it again proud of them boys,” Hill posted on X, adding: “Even more motivation for us in Miami ✌🏿.”

In separate posts, the wide receiver also shouted out Mecole Hardman for his game-winning touchdown reception and the Andy Reid–Patrick Mahomes combo. “Coach Reid & 15 different been saying it all year,” Hill voiced in his third postgame message.

Hill has shown the Chiefs support since being eliminated from the playoffs during the Wild Card Round. Having said that, the ex-KC playmaker has angered the fanbase in the past, including his reaction to last year’s Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Earlier in the game, Hill also posted a cryptic message on Travis Kelce bumping Reid.
Tyrann Mathieu Sounds Off on Patrick Mahomes After Chiefs Beat 49ers, NFL World Reacts

“MAHOMES cold blooded!!! Legendary,” Mathieu proclaimed after the 2024 win.

Similar to Hill, Mathieu’s post caught fire on social media. Within the first hour, the former team leader’s reaction had over 10K likes and 150K views.
Another former Chief, safety Juan Thornhill, reached out X too. “Congrats to my dawgs and all of #chiefskingdom ❤️🫡.”
And Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey joined all three in congratulating the champs.
“Sheesh! Back to back is ELITE!” He stated. “Pat like that! Btw, loved how [Trent] McDuffie played! It’s beautiful football when you can showcase your whole skill set!”
New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner weighed in after that, writing: “I told y’all. The 9ers might look better on paper but the Chiefs always find a way😂💯.”
“The #Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill and won back-to-back Super Bowls,” NFL insider Ari Meirov also reacted in awe. Noting: “Patrick Mahomes and the #Chiefs are the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions since Tom Brady and the [New England] Patriots in 2003-2004.”
Finally, former NFL QB Robert Griffin III declared that “Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are a DYNASTY,” deeming them “inevitable.” While former QB Boomer Esiason confirmed that Mahomes would be a “first-ballot Hall of Famer” if he retired tomorrow.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Wins 3rd Super Bowl MVP
Finishing the championship game with 333 passing yards and another 66 yards on the ground — plus two touchdowns and an interception — Mahomes took home his third Super Bowl MVP award to go along with his third Super Bowl ring.
With just 123 passing yards at halftime, it was a big second half and overtime period for the Chiefs QB as he led his team to another comeback victory over the 49ers.
In the end, Mahomes’ QBR of 75.8 and passer rating of 99.3 bested San Francisco signal-caller Brock Purdy. The latter finished with a QBR of 69.8 and a passer rating of 89.3.
“I just gotta give God the glory, man,” Mahomes told sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson and the CBS broadcast after the Super Bowl was in the books. “He challenged us to make us better. And I’m proud of my guys, man, this is awesome. It’s legendary.”
That’s a great way to describe what we are witnessing: “Legendary.” Meirov posted Mahomes’ updated resume after Super Bowl No. 3.
