The Chiefs were also part of a second award, earning "Best Game" honors along with the Rams for the epic bout between the two teams on Monday Night Football last November. Kansas City ultimately came up just short in that contest, but the 105 points, 1,001 yards, 56 first downs and nine lead-changes between the two squads made for a simply unforgettable football game.

It all made for an exciting night at the ESPYS, which have annually saluted the very best in all of sports since 1993 based on fan voting amongst pre-selected nominees across a number of categories. Mahomes was up for two individual awards on Wednesday - earning nominations for "Best Male Athlete" and "Best NFL Player" – while securing the latter.
