The Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl for the third time in five years – because quarterback Patrick Mahomes shows in the final seconds of the game against the San Francisco 49ers why he is a great in his sport.
“Legendary,” said Patrick Mahomes exactly 128 seconds after his pass to Mecole Hardman – and thus also 128 seconds after the end of the 58th Super Bowl. The game had to be decided in overtime, the San Francisco 49ers had taken a three-point lead with a field goal – but then the Kansas City Chiefs launched a series of attacks that can only be described in Mahomes’ words. And they ended it with a move that, when successful, appears simple and unspectacular, but in reality is so complicated that only one term can be used for it: legendary.
