Even Biden himself joined the conversation, posting about the Chiefs’ victory on social media. Despite the speculation, Mahomes’ comeback victory and the game’s record-breaking TV ratings stand as testaments to its excitement and appeal.

The theory suggesting the game was scripted to influence politics appears to have inadvertently drawn more attention to the event.
“It’s been wild to see,” Mahomes told CNN.
