KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The greatest and longest-lasting dynasty in NFL history lives on, thanks again to the greatest quarterback in NFL history.
Tom Brady did it yet again, leading the Patriots to a 37-31 overtime win against the Chiefs. Brady drove the Patriots for the winning score in overtime, as running back Rex Burkhead scored a touchdown on the Patriots’ first possession of the extra session to give the Patriots their third straight Super Bowl appearance.
The much-anticipated Brady-Patrick Mahomes showdown thus turned out to be as exhilarating as advertised.
With the 41-year-old Brady trying to gain entry to his ninth Super Bowl and the 23-year-old Mahomes looking for a Super Bowl berth in just his first full season as a starter, the two quarterbacks produced an epic showdown that wasn’t decided until overtime.
