Little Noah, a young Chiefs fan, was specially invited down to the field after the game with her family to celebrate the win with the players. In a video spreading across social media X (Twitter), Mahomes approached, gently hugged the little girl, then placed the game ball still marked with grass stains into her hands. The girl’s face lit up, while her father standing behind tried to hold back tears – and the entire stands erupted in applause along with chants of “MVP! MVP!”.
Mahomes bent down, smiled, and whispered:
“You’ve fought more bravely than any of us. This ball is for you – my little warrior. You are the real inspiration.”
That moment quickly spread, garnering tens of millions of views in just a few hours. An NFL Network commentator called it “the most emotional touchdown of the season”. Chiefs fans on social media unanimously shared the video with the hashtags #HeartOfAChampion and #MahomesMVP.
After the ceremony, Mahomes shared with reporters:
“That’s what makes football special. Winning on the field matters, but winning in people’s hearts is even greater. When I saw that smile, I knew I had done the right thing.”
Mahomes’ gesture not only made the Chiefs Kingdom community proud, but also moved the entire NFL.
