Paul Rudd’s son just wanted to express his gratitude.

Rudd, a die hard Chiefs fan, attended Super Bowl 2023 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. with his son, Jack. Fox Sports caught up with the father and son after the game, and they were walking on clouds.

“I can’t believe it,” the elder Rudd said. “It was such a great game. Wow, it all just feels so overwhelming. Incredible.”

Jack was extremely thankful for the win — and one particular aspect of the Chiefs’ success.

“I just wanted to thank Patrick Mahomes for existing, for putting in all the work, so we can all just enjoy his greatness every week,” he said. “I’m so lucky that I’m alive to watch this. I cannot believe he’s a real person. I don’t know how to explain it.”

Mahomes threw for 182 yards and three touchdowns and won the Super Bowl MVP in the Chiefs’ 38-35 victory. The performance would’ve been special in and of itself, but it was more remarkable given that he suffered a high ankle sprain in Kansas City’s second-round playoff victory over the Jaguars.

After appearing to exacerbate the injury late in the first half, Mahomes returned to the field in the second half with no apparent discomfort. His 26-yard scramble with under three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter solidified the Chiefs in field goal range for the game-winning score.

“I told y’all this week, there’s nothing that’s going to keep me off this football field,” Mahomes told Fox Sports’ Terry Bradshaw after the game. “I just want to shout out my teammates, man. We challenged each other. It took everybody to win this football game.”
