Check out Patrick Mahomes’ reaction to getting his Chiefs Super Bowl ring Tuesday night

Before they try for back-to-back Super Bowl titles, Chiefs players took a moment to celebrate their first.

With Patrick Mahomes front and center.

The Chiefs received their Super Bowl rings in a private ceremony Tuesday night inside Arrowhead Stadium. Players were announced by name as they emerged through the tunnel onto the field, with Mahomes reserved for last.

His reaction to opening the box containing the ring — a smile plastered across his face — exhibited its significance.

After placing the ring on his right hand, Mahomes, the Super Bowl’s MVP, darted to another table for a hug — coach Andy Reid’s spot. The two shared an embrace while wearing the first Super Bowl rings dressed in a Chiefs logo in 50 years.

Here’s a closer look at the rings, which include 255 diamonds and 36 rubies.
