The Kansas City quarterback is the first player to appear on the Madden NFL cover, play in the Super Bowl and win the Lombardi Trophy in the same season.
and just over eight minutes left in the game, Mahomes engineered three consecutive scoring drives, as Kansas City scored 21 consecutive points to win a first Lombardi Trophy since 1970.and consigned the Madden curse to history for good.
Initially regarded as a huge honor, featuring on the cover has since developed into a curse not dissimilar to the Sports Illustrated cover jinx. Therefore, Mahomes is technically the first player to appear on the cover of Madden NFL, play in the Super Bowl and win the Lombardi Trophy in the same season.Not even Tom Brady achieved the feat, as he appeared on the cover the season following the Patriots' triumph in Super Bowl LI, which ended with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.
In the first decade of the 2000s, only five players featuring on the cover of Madden reached the playoffs, never mind the Super Bowl. Eddie George, Shaun Alexander and Larry Fitzgerald went as far as the divisional round in 2001, 2007 and 2010, while Vince Young and Drew Brees lost in the wild card round.
