Nothing was easy in this one, but it was poetic.
In many ways, the Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday night’s Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas was a microcosm of the 2023 season: a sloppy first half (including turnovers and a struggling offense) followed by a second half where they seemed to figure some things out. After the break, the Chiefs relied on their best players — who came up big when it mattered — and got the ball to some unexpected contributors to help collect their third championship in Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes Era.
