Patrick Mahomes has rapidly cemented his legacy as one of the NFL's most successful quarterbacks, with multiple Super Bowl victories and MVP honors. This article explores his championship profile.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a bona fide NFL superstar. Going from Alex Smith’s backup to a three-time Super Bowl champion, Mahomes’ story is one of the best in the recent history of the league. How many Super Bowl rings does Mahomes have? And how many might he win? We take a closer look at Mahomes' professional career, stats in Super Bowl appearances, and some of his most memorable moments so far.
How Many Super Bowl Rings Does Patrick Mahomes Have?

Mahomes has three Super Bowl championships in four appearances. He won his first of those championships in Super Bowl LIV, when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20. Mahomes threw two interceptions in that game, but he made up for it by throwing two fourth-quarter touchdowns to deliver victory for the Chiefs.
In Super Bowl LV, his second appearance, Mahomes battled a turf toe injury and struggled throughout the game as the Chiefs fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31-9. Mahomes threw for 270 yards and two interceptions in the loss, and had surgery on his foot just three days after the game.
Mahomes’ second championship came in his third Super Bowl appearance (LVII) when the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35. Mahomes’ heroism was on full display in that game, as he threw two fourth quarter touchdowns and led the Chiefs on a game-winning field goal drive in the game’s final minutes.
His third ring came in Super Bowl LVIII in another win over the 49ers — this time by a score of 25-22 — with Mahomes leading a clutch game-winning touchdown drive in overtime. The Chiefs trailed on four separate occasions in the game, including in overtime when they gave up a field goal to open the extra period. But Mahomes calmly led the Chiefs down the field for the game-winning score and further cemented his legacy as one of the greats in Super Bowl history.
How Many Super Bowl MVPs Does Patrick Mahomes Have?
Mahomes has won three Super Bowl MVP awards in his career, claiming the prize in each of his team’s three Super Bowl dubs. Given the dramatic circumstances surrounding each of those games, it's no shock that Mahomes got the accolades.
At his best in the most pressure-packed moments, Mahomes has thrown five TD passes in the fourth quarter and overtime during his MVP performances. In his three wins, Mahomes has a total of seven passing touchdowns to three interceptions.
He also impacted each game with his legs, averaging more than 40 rushing yards per game in the three Super Bowl victories. In total, Mahomes has run for 172 yards and one TD in four Super Bowl appearances.
The Super Bowl MVP award is informally known as a quarterback award for the winning team. Quarterbacks have won more than half of all Super Bowl MVPs given out in the history of the game. Mahomes is tied with Joe Montana for second all time in this department, with only Tom Brady and his five Super Bowl MVPs having more.
Patrick Mahomes’ Super Bowl Losses
While Mahomes has already had an incredible Super Bowl career, he doesn't have a perfect record in the big game. He lost Super Bowl LV against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by Brady. In that game, Mahomes barely completed half of his pass attempts, threw two interceptions and failed to throw a touchdown pass.
That game was the second and last of two postseason confrontations between the two legendary QBs. Brady also led the Patriots to a victory over Mahomes' Chiefs in the 2018 AFC Championship Game.
Throughout NFL history, a great number of QBs have failed to get another chance at a Super Bowl after suffering a loss. Mahomes has only grown since his lone defeat, winning two Super Bowls since then.

Where to Draft Mahomes in Fantasy Football
Where to draft a quarterback in fantasy is always a topic of debate, and Mahomes is a lightning rod when it comes to finding the right spot. While he typically projects as one of the highest scoring QBs in the league, his fantasy ranks in 2023 and 2024 were 10th and 11th among QBs, respectively. This performance made Mahomes one of Sleeper's most disappointing fantasy players in 2024.
Part of Mahomes' recent fantasy struggles is a lack of consistent health and production from his receiving corps. With an aging and less effective Travis Kelce and a rotating carousel of wide receivers, Mahomes has not had an elite complement of pass catchers in the past two seasons. Meanwhile, the Chiefs defense has emerged as one of the league's best in that time period, which has allowed the club to shift its game focus toward winning without putting up video game offensive numbers.
A common fantasy football draft strategy is to grab several elite skill position players before selecting a quarterback. The risk is waiting too long to pick a QB could leave you with only the bottom of the barrel at the position. The best strategy is to observe what your league opponents are try to find value by taking a projected top 10 quarterback in the middle rounds.
