The Kansas City Chiefs’ improbable Super Bowl 58 victory was genuinely mesmerizing, but it likely wouldn’t have happened without Mecole Hardman’s sure hands. Kansas City knows this and rightfully gave Mecole a gift he’ll never forget: the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning game ball.
When Mecole Hardman caught the game-sealing touchdown in Super Bowl 58, he could hardly believe it. In fact, he didn’t know it happened. It was a play call for the ages, and Hardman nailed his part, much to the delight of Patrick Mahomes.
Still, Hardman seemingly saw it coming. He predicted the Chiefs’ win months before it happened. On Tuesday, he was rewarded with a piece of Super Bowl history that brought his incredible prediction full circle.
I GOT THE GAME BALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
