“I blacked out, man,” Hardman said, according toThe Associated Press. “I forgot we actually won the game.”
QuarterbackPatrick Mahomes, who threw the pass, confirmed the story.
“I threw a touchdown to this dude to end the game, and he looked at me,” Mahomes, 28, said. “He had no idea. I said, ‘Dude, we just won the Super Bowl.’ He had no idea. He didn’t even celebrate at the beginning.”
