The victory came just days after Mahomes and his wife Brittany welcomed their third child, Golden Raye. The Mahomes are now very busy at home as all three kids are three years old or younger—daughter Sterling Skye is three while their son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III is two.

Mahomes entered the game with 15 postseason wins, third-most in NFL history for a starting quarterback. But with Saturday's victory, the eighth-year veteran has tied San Francisco 49ers legend Joe Montana (16) for second place all-time.

The best quarterback in football has weathered changes around him with his persistence, problem-solving ability and willingness to adjust.
