Kansas City Chiefs beat San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 2024 and the award won by Patrick Mahomes and company has already been revealed.
What promised to be a real spectacle in Super Bowl 2024 ended up being a show of great defenses. San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs were only seven points apart at the end of the first two quarters and the winner of the money that the Super Bowl LVIII champions took home remained a mystery in the NFL world .
The first quarter at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas was scoreless and both Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes were overshadowed by opposing defenses. It wasn’t until the second play of the second period that the first points came. Is there a trend to define the winner of the thousands of dollars that Super Bowl 2024 was offering? Hmm…
San Francisco 49ers went ahead with a 55-yard field goal by Jake Moody and… Was it time for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to respond ? Not yet. On a fantasy double-pass play, Brock Purdy passed the ball to Jauan Jennings and the receiver threw it to Christian McCaffrey to run into the end zone. 10-0 down and things were starting to get complicated for the Chiefs.
It was crucial for the Chiefs to score before halftime and after almost 30 minutes they broke the tie with a Harrison Butker field goal. It was time to rethink things and go all out in the second half. Mahomes led a comeback that would take the game to overtime. It was only the second time in NFL history that a Super Bowl was decided this way.
