Kansas City Chiefs win 2024 Super Bowl in overtime, become back-to-back NFL champions
The Chiefs trailed the San Francisco 49ers at halftime, but rallied to tie the game at the end of regulation. After San Francisco managed only a field goal in their first overtime possession, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs marched down the field to victory.
The Kansas City Chiefs have won their third Super Bowl title in five years, and are the first back-to-back NFL champions in almost 20 years.
Kansas City came from behind in Super Bowl 58, beating the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22 in overtime, at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. It’s the Chiefs franchise’s fourth NFL championship, and it thwarted a 49ers attempt to avenge a Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs four years ago.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed the game-winning drive on a three-yard toss to receiver Mecole Hardman. Mahomes finished the game with 34 completions on 46 attempts and two touchdowns.
“The whole game was our whole entire season,” Mahomes said from the victory stage after the game. “Just know that the Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs.”
For the third time in his career, Mahomes was named the Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player.
“Defense played out of their mind … special teams jumped up there and dominated right at the end,” coach Andy Reid said. “I’m so proud of the whole group.”
