The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a remarkable performance in the Super Bowl to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 and win the title for a second straight season. Star player Patrick Mahomes stole the show with the winning dive to lead his team to their third title in five years, with this one proving to be unexpected owing to the conditions involved.
The team relied on their defence, in spite of Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice being in the team. And the orchestration paid off in the end with an unbelievable performance to stun the 49ers in the biggest game of the season.

After the first quarter ended in a deadlock, San Francisco opened the scoring with a 55-yard field goal from Jake Moody, the longest in the history of the Super Bowl. With Mahomes not trusting his receivers, it was becoming increasingly easy for them to limit his passing range.
The game went into overtime for the first time since 2016 and only the second time in the history of the Super Bowl. This time, the 49ers won the toss and started with the ball.
Mahomes was able to produce magic once again this time, finding a teammate who didn’t drop the ball and ended up winning the game for the Chiefs.
The 49ers have won the NFL title five times in their history, but have now lost the finals three times since their last win in 1995. On the other hand, the Chiefs have embarked on a new era of their own after defending the title successfully.
