The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions, again.
Kansas City took down the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime of Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday in Las Vegas. The Chiefs are back-to-back champions and have won three of the last five Super Bowls. It’s also the second time they’ve beaten the 49ers in that run.
The 49ers took a 22-19 lead with a field goal in the first drive of overtime, but the new postseason overtime rules allow each team to get possession before the game is over. So, the door was left open for Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and he took advantage of the opportunity as he usually does.
Mahomes led a 13-play, 75-yard drive, and he connected with Mecole Hardman for the championship-winning touchdown.
Jim Nantz and Tony Romo had the television call for CBS, and Romo did most of the talking/enthusiastic yelling as the Chiefs secured the title.
