The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. In the NFL final in Las Vegas, the defending champions beat the San Francisco 49ers 25:22 (3:10, 19:19) after overtime. The team around superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes managed a remarkable comeback. The Chiefs played incorrectly for a long time and were 0:10 behind. But because nothing worked in the 49ers' offense in the second half and Mahomes found his way into the game better, the Chiefs turned the game around. But then neither team could break away and it went into overtime. There Mahomes decided the game for the Chiefs with a touchdown pass.
For the 28-year-old Mahomes, it is the third Super Bowl victory of his career. The 49ers, on the other hand, missed revenge for the Super Bowl defeat against the Chiefs in 2020.
