Mahomes and Andy Reid captured their third Super Bowl title after winning in an overtime thriller in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS — Hours after the pomp and circumstance of pregame theatrics and halftime performances,The spectacle of the NFL’s final game can sometimes be about anything but the game, but the Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers crescendoed into an overtime thriller in which Patrick Mahomes obliged late with a walk-off touchdown to Mecole Hardman.
He was named Super Bowl MVP, finishing 34-for-46 for 333 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He had a handful of key first-down runs as well, finishing as the Chiefs’ leading rusher with nine carries for 66 yards. The 49ers coach with a spotty track record in moments like these kept his offense on the field trailing by three points early in the fourth quarter. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy hit tight end George Kittle for a 4-yard completion and, two plays later, found receiver Jauan Jennings for a 10-yard touchdown to give San Francisco a 16-13 lead.
The stakes weren’t as high as when Doug Pederson called a reverse pass on fourth-and-goal from the New England Patriots 1-yard line in Super Bowl LII, but it proved to be a turning point for a San Francisco offense getting in its own way. The Niners had two drives go deep into Chiefs territory to that point, but a fumble by McCaffrey cost them a chance at points on the opening series.
