Chiefs were confident in Super Bowl win after 49ers’ overtime field goal

The most-watched Super Bowl of all time lived up to that attention down the stretch. After the Kansas City Chiefs tied the game 19-19 to force overtime, the San Francisco 49ers took possession in the fifth period, marching down the field with little resistance.

It came down to a third down from the Chiefs’ 9-yard line, with San Francisco only needing four yards to keep their touchdown hopes alive. Then, defensive tackle Chris Jones happened: he flew off the line, quickly getting to quarterback Brock Purdy’s lap before he could find a way out of it.
