Super Bowl 2024: Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers NOW in the live ticker – 3rd quarter
3rd quarter Mahomes and Kelce know things are getting serious! The tight end catches another ball, and on third down Mahomes runs himself and gets the first down. Then comes a designed run for him that brings 22 yards because he catches the defense wrong. But it’s over at the opposing 39. Kicker Harrison Butker has to go – and hits a very flat kick from 57 yards! He thus overtakes Jake Moody’s Super Bowl record! 10-6 Niners.
3rd quarter There’s nothing going on offensively here right now. Purdy tries play-action, but is under pressure after his rollout, which only results in a loss of space. On third down, George Kittle doesn’t get a deep ball – and now Deebo Samuel is also on the ground injured… At least the special teams don’t allow a return again, Richie James is brought straight to the ground. But things don’t look good for Samuel as he runs off the field.
3rd quarter Once again the 49ers defense makes the big play here. Travis Kelce gets 9 yards with a catch, but on third-and-1 Pacheco runs into a wall – that’s not enough! The Chiefs are punting, have already used a timeout, and now have to rely on their defense. Purdy takes over at his own 36-yard line. 10-3 49ers.
3rd quarter The Niners cannot take advantage of this opportunity in the opponent’s half. Two of Purdy’s passes ended up incomplete, and he only gained a few yards in a scramble. But the special teamers catch the punt at the 2-yard line – it will be a long drive for the defending champions. 10-3 49ers.
3rd quarter Horrible start for the Chiefs! A pitch from Mahomes to Pacheco lands on the ground for a loss of 12 yards. On third down, Mahomes throws over Kelce – and Jaire Brown says thank you! Interception, the Niners start their drive at the 44-yard line. 10-3 49ers.
3rd quarter It goes on! The Chiefs start after a touchback from their own 25.
Super Bowl 2024: Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers NOW in the live ticker – halftime
Conclusion The 49ers go into the locker room with a score of 10:3, not undeservedly. A fumble on both sides, the Niners are ahead 189:157 in terms of yards gained. What is striking? 12:7 first downs for San Francisco, Mahomes was sacked twice, and the Chiefs have already received five flags for 50 penalty yards (Niners: 2 for 20). And Travis Kelce was only targeted once, for a yard gain.
But you have to remember that the Chiefs got the ball early in the second half. So everything is still completely open here in Las Vegas.
Super Bowl 2024: Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers NOW in the live ticker – 2nd quarter
2nd quarter With 20 seconds on the clock, the 49ers aren’t taking any chances. Half time!
2nd quarter The champion returns. A long drive by the Chiefs over 13 plays in which Mahomes can survive several third downs. The Chiefs run down the clock and end up in the redzone, but then Mahomes is sacked on third down. So it will be a short field goal. 10-3 49ers.
2nd quarter Now the game threatens to tip towards San Francisco! A long Niners drive is extended by a penalty against L’Jarius Sneed, who slaps Brandon Aiyuk. At the redzone, Purdy first throws a supposed screen behind the line of scrimmage to Jauan Jennings, who has no space at all – but it’s a trick play! Jennings fires the pill back to the right side, where McCaffrey gets the leather, has good blocks and runs into the end zone. Touchdown Niners! 10-0 49ers.
2nd quarter The Chiefs offense doesn’t fail on this drive! Pass rusher Chase Young forces an intentional grounding, which means it’s 2nd-and-20. A run from Pacheco, then Mahomes has to run away from the pass rush again. The Chiefs punt. Almost eight minutes left in this quarter. 3-0 49ers.
2nd quarter A horse-collar tackle from behind on Purdy gets the Niners a few yards out of danger. But then two runs fail – and now Purdy is also sacked. San Francisco punts and doesn’t allow any return yards. Next attempt for Mahomes. 3-0 49ers.
2nd quarter It’s going to be dramatic! Kansas City gets a first down over the run – and then Mahomes unpacks a perfect bomb to Mecole Hardman. 53 yards through the air, and there were actually two defenders there. But on the next play, Pacheco fumbles the ball away at the 9-yard line, the Niners defense wins the ball. Again, no points for KC – and a bad mistake by Pacheco. 3-0 49ers.
2nd quarter Purdy wants the touchdown on third down and targets Deebo Samuel in the end zone – but he is defended excellently by Trent McDuffie. So rookie kicker Jake Moody has to run from 55 yards. He definitely welds in the field goal. 55 yards is also a new Super Bowl record for the longest field goal. Wow! 3-0 49ers.
Super Bowl 2024: Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers NOW in the live ticker – 1st quarter
1st quarter The Niners get a first down via the run. Then it’s Brock Purdy’s turn: The quarterback usually has a lot of time in the pocket and finds several receivers with good throws, so it goes into the opponent’s half. But then he throws a deep ball – and on McCaffrey’s next run, the defense is on the spot. Third-and-long, also the end of the 1st quarter.
1st quarter The Niners defense took the criticism after the game against the Lions to heart. Pacheco gets a first down, then Mahomes is sacked, the next screen pass yields nothing. On third down, Mahomes has to escape again. Kansas City’s second punt, but it still goes to the opposing 17-yard line. Just under four minutes left in the first half of the game.
1st quarter The Niners get a first down, but lose yards on a screen pass to Deebo Samuel. Two flags against left tackle Trent Williams force them back a long way, and they can’t get those yards back. The next punt.
1st quarter The 49ers defense holds up! They stifled Isiah Pacheco’s first run, as well as a screen pass to Travis Kelce. On third-and-long, a pass from Mahomes to Jerick McKinnon doesn’t reach the yellow line. The Chiefs have to punt. By the way, wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who hasn’t had a good season, is inactive for the Chiefs.
1st quarter It’s starting! Harrison Butker hits the kickoff into the opposing end zone. The Niners start at their own 25-yard line. The offense works as expected, with several first downs by running back Christian McCaffrey, and Purdy also completes his passes. But during another run, “CMC” fumbles at the opposing 27-yard line, George Karlaftis wins the ball for the Chiefs! Big play and the first ball loss of the game.
