Former Texas Longhorns receiver Xavier Worthy was far and away the player of the game for the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
Worthy finished the night with eight catches for a game-high 157 yards and two touchdowns. He accounted for Kansas City’s first points of the game on a 24-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes with 34 seconds left in the third quarter. In doing so, he became the first Longhorn to ever score a touchdown in the Super Bowl.

Even with the game already out of hand, Worthy added another, more impressive touchdown in the fourth quarter to cut into the lead. Mahomes launched a 50-yard pass to Worthy, who caught it in stride in the back of the end zone.
