The Football History of Kansas City Chiefs Washington Post Edition Book

THE STADIUM IS DEAFENING in overtime — the 49ers strike first with a 27‑yard field goal to take a 22 – 19 lead. But Patrick Mahomes, calm under fire, takes control: he scrambles for a first down, converts a fourth‑and‑one, and then, with ice in his veins finds Mecole Hardman for a 3‑yard touchdown pass to win it. The clock hits zero, and it’s over. The Kansas City Chiefs have defended their title, winning 25 – 22, in only the second-ever championship to go to overtime. Mahomes is named MVP, the trophy returns to Kansas City, and the league’s latest dynasty is cemented.
