With back-to-back Super Bowl wins, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcle’s Kansas City Chiefs have solidified their status as the newest NFL dynasty—even though it took the team nearly an entire overtime period to accomplish it.
The New England Patriots were the last club to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles almost twenty years ago, but the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a second-half rally to defeat the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, 25-22 in overtime. This marks the third Super Bowl victory for Kansas City in the last five years, per Bleachers Report.
During the first half of the game, the Niners managed the tempo of play. However, after quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception on the Chiefs’ opening possession to take a 13–10 lead in the third quarter, Kansas City started to gradually regain offensive momentum, per NPR.
After that, the game became a tight back-and-forth exchange. With fewer than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the 49ers were up 19-16 again, but the Chiefs tied the score with a field goal in the final seconds of regulation.
