  • Inside The NFL ranked top 60 mic’d-up Super Bowl moments; No. 1 involved Chiefs
  • Seven Chiefs mic’d-up moments made the list, including two in the top four
  • Patrick Mahomes’ improbable throws in Super Bowl LV drew praise despite the loss

In honor of Super Bowl LX, “Inside The NFL” chose the top 60 mic’d-up moments in the history of the big game, and the Chiefs got some big love.

That ranking included a whopping seven moments that involved the Chiefs, including two in the top four and the No. 1 video.

Here are the seven involving the Chiefs.

No. 50: Mahomes the magician

The first moment came in a Super Bowl the Chiefs lost. The Buccaneers thumped the Chiefs 31-9 in Super Bowl LV, but Tampa Bay players were blown away by what quarterback Patrick Mahomes did in the game.

Injuries to the offensive line kept Mahomes on the run, and he still managed to make incredible and improbable throws. That led one Bucs player to call Mahomes a magician.

No. 36: Mahomes’ dash

A high-ankle sprain limited Mahomes’ mobility during the playoffs following the 2022 season, and he tweaked the injury late in the first half of Super Bowl LVII.

Despite being in serious pain earlier in the game, Mahomes ripped off a 26-yard run that set up the game winning field goal against the Eagles.

No. 28: Taylor and Travis celebrate

Even though they had gone public with their relationship months earlier, some people wondered if it was simply done for public-relations reasons.

But after the Chiefs beat the 49ers in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII, the couple’s love for one another came through in the mic’d-up video.

No. 26: Tom and Jerry

The Chiefs became repeat champions by beating the 49ers 25-22 in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII. After giving up a field goal in the extra period, the Chiefs drove 75 yards in 13 plays for the winning touchdown.

Mecole Hardman caught the walkoff score on a pass from Mahomes on the Chiefs’ “Tom and Jerry” play.

No. 13: Mama Kelce shines

Super Bowl LVII was dubbed the “Kelce Bowl,” because it pitted Travis Kelce and the Chiefs against Jason Kelce and the Eagles. Brother vs. Brother was the headline, but their mother, Donna, was in the spotlight.

And the mic’d up video showed Donna Kelce console Jason Kelce after the game and minutes later celebrate with Travis Kelce. Great stuff.

No. 4: Chiefs sting the 49ers

Mahomes’ greatness was on full display as he helped the Chiefs overcome a 10-point fourth quarter deficit in Super Bowl LIV. He kickstarted the rally by suggesting the Chiefs run Jet Chip Wasp.

Mahomes’ call led to a bomb to Tyreek Hill that started the comeback and was the beginning of the Chiefs’ dynasty.

No. 1: Matriculating the ball

The Chiefs’ video production company is called 65 Toss Power Trap because of the famous play the team ran in their Super Bowl IV win over the Vikings.

Coach Hank Stram was mic’d-up for the game and NFL Films hit the jackpot. Stram talking about 65 Toss Power Trap and matriculating the ball down field was gold.
