Kansas City Chiefs win the 2024 Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs struggled against the San Francisco 49ers in the first half of Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, going scoreless until a crucial 28-yard field goal by Harrison Butker finally put the Chiefs on the board, 10-3 athalftime. After some back and forth in the second half, the teams were tied at 19 at the end of regulation, and the game headed into overtime for only the second time in Super Bowl history.
The 49ers Jake Moody hit a 27-yard field goal in overtime to take a 22-19 lead. But Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes drove the Chiefs down the field, and with 13 seconds left in overtime, connected with receiver Mecole Hardman on a one-yard touchdown pass for the win.
"Really just the whole game, just our whole entire season, it was the defense keeping us in there, and the offense making plays when it counted," Mahomes said after the game.
Who won the 2023 Super Bowl last year?
The Kansas City Chiefs picked up their third Super Bowl win in franchise history in 2023. It was the second Super Bowl win for Mahomes, who has led his team to at least the AFC Championship game all six years he has been the starting quarterback.
Super Bowl 57 began with an opening drive touchdown by the Eagles to put them up 7-0. The Chiefs responded with a touchdown drive of their own, tying the game at 7 on with an 18-yard reception by Kelce. Both offenses sputtered on their next drives, but the Eagles went up 14-7 on the first play of the second quarter, a 45-yard pass from Jalen Hurts to A.J. Brown.
The Chiefs offense failed to respond, but Kanas City tied the game up when linebacker Nick Bolton recovered a Hurts fumble and ran it back 36 yards for a touchdown. The Eagles marched down the field on their next possession and capped off the drive with a Hurts touchdown run to go back up by 7. Kansas City again couldn't put up any points on their next drive, and the Eagles kicked a field goal just before halftime to increase the lead to 24-14.
The Chiefs cut the lead down to three with a touchdown on the first drive of the second half, and the Eagles then responded with a time-consuming field goal drive to make the score 27-21 going into the fourth quarter.
Kansas City then took the lead for the first time with 12:04 left in the fourth quarter on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Kadarius Toney. The Eagles went three-and-out on their next drive and a 65-yard punt return from Toney gave the Chiefs excellent field position at the Eagles' 5-yard line. The Chiefs cashed in three plays later with another touchdown pass to widen the lead to eight.
But the Eagles came storming back, scoring a touchdown on their next drive and completing a two-point conversion to tie the game at 35 with just over five minutes to go. The Chiefs moved into field goal range on their next possession and were at the 15-yard line when the two-minute warning hit.
On 3rd and 8, with 1:54 to play, Mahomes threw an incomplete pass, making it seem like Kansas City would have to settle for a field goal attempt that would allow the Eagles plenty of time to either tie or take the lead. But defensive holding was called on the Eagles' James Bradberry, giving the Chiefs an extra five yards and, crucially, an automatic first down.
That first down allowed the Chiefs to run the clock down and kick a field goal to go up 38-35 with just eight seconds left in the game.
Hurts threw one last Hail Mary on the Eagles' next and final drive, which landed incomplete and ended the game.
