On the eve of the Super Bowl, fans were unsure. Yes, they were excited, but this year was different. All the experts and professionals could do was tell you what you already knew. This was going to come down to the destructive San Francisco 49ers’ defence versus the magic of Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star quarterback.
The game was tough at first for both teams. Soon enough, the halftime score read 10-10: a completely even match. As the second half raged on, things looked worse and worse for the NFL’s newest star. Mahomes was throwing interceptions and the 49ers were running the ball with great effectiveness. When the score read 20-10 going into the fourth quarter, let’s be real, most of us thought Kansas City was finished.
We, however, forgot one thing. We forgot the great equalizer for the Kansas City Chiefs — the very reason they are known to come back in games. We forgot, or even doubted, the magic of Patrick Mahomes.
Like lightning he came back, fighting through the formidable front line of San Francisco’s defence. The 49ers, unable to score, seemed shocked themselves. All of a sudden the offence, the defence, the entire roster of the Chiefs was back in action. Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers’ QB, tried his best, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the force that was Kansas City. When the final horn sounded and the Chiefs removed their helmets, they stood alone, NFL champions.
