The San Francisco 49ers had the Kansas City Chiefs on the brink of defeat over and over and over again.
But Patrick Mahomes is a legend, and he’s one of the greatest players we have ever seen. He’s a three-time Super Bowl champion, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, and he’s an unofficial Seattle Seahawks legend courtesy of denying the 49ers the Lombardi Trophy for a second time in five seasons.
Down 19-16 in regulation, Mahomes engineered a heroic game-tying drive. His attempt at a winning touchdown in the closing seconds fell incomplete, but Harrison Butker was able to force overtime with a 29-yard field goal.
