KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WIN THE SUPER BOWL

Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid with the Lombardi trophy.
Finally !
After 50 long years, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions.
And for the first time in his head coaching career, 61-year-old Andy Reid is a Super Bowl champion.
The Chiefs did the improbable once again during this post-season by overcoming a double-digit deficit to win the game, 31-20 over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 54 in Miami, Florida.
Chiefs running back Damien Williams rushed for 104 yards (on 17 carries) and a touchdown and also caught four passes for 29 yards, including the go ahead score on a five-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes (pictured lower right) for a 24-20 lead with 2:44 remaining in the game. Williams then clinched the Super Bowl victory with a 38-yard scoring run with just over a minute remaining.
After being schooled for three quarters by the 49ers defense, Mahomes (286 passing yards with two TD and two interceptions) stepped up in the final quarter with two touchdown passes (to Williams and another to tight end Travis Kelce) to lead the comeback win.
49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 219 yards with one touchdown pass, but threw two interceptions in the fourth quarter as the Chiefs defense also rose up to the occasion.
49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk hauled in a 15-yard scoring pass from Garoppolo to tie the game 10-10 heading into halftime. Mahomes scored the game's first touchdown on a one-yard run   for a 7-3 Kansas City lead in the first quarter.
In the third quarter, San Francisco scored ten unanswered points with a 42-yard field goal by Robbie Gould and a one-yard TD run by running back Raheem Mostert for a 20-10 lead. From there, it was all Chiefs in the final 15 minutes as they put up 21 unanswered points to win it.
Mahomes was named the Most Valuable Player for the game after the rough start by coming through when it mattered most in the fourth quarter.
