Kansas City Chiefs down San Francisco 49ers to clinch Super Bowl title

Kansas City Chiefs had their defence to thank for the Super Bowl victory. The Chiefs (15-4) trailed 24-0 and 17-7 in their earlier playoff games, both in the first half. In the Super Bowl, they almost didn’t have time for retaliation. However, the 49ers defence wilted. Patrick Mahomes showed the world why he is so special as he almost single-handedly inspired the Chiefs to a memorable come-from-behind victory. The victory was extraordinary considering Chiefs’ 50-year title drought and coach Andy Reid’s two-decade long quest for silverware.
