Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes throws a pass in overtime against the San Francisco 49ers during Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on Feb. 11, 2024.
he drive, beautifully sculpted in Las Vegas, an all-timer orchestrated by a potential GOAT who now leads a dynasty, started on the 25-yard line. Super Bowl LVIII had reached overtime, just the second extra session in history, and the Kansas City Chiefs, who trailed the San Francisco 49ers 22-19, needed a field goal to extend the game.
Then wide receiver Mecole Hardman started to run in motion, before he changed directions. Mahomes took the snap, faked a run, and flicked the ball to Hardman, wide open in the flat. “I blacked out when I caught the ball,” Hardman said afterwards. The Chiefs won it on a walk off touchdown.On the drive—worthy of being christened “The Drive”—Mahomes did not throw a single incomplete pass. He went eight for eight, for 42 passing yards. He ran for 27 more.
Mahomes is 28. Both Mahomes and Brady have won 3 Super Bowls in their first six seasons as starting QBs.. San Francisco took a 10-0 lead in the second quarter, on the strength of a Jake Moody 55-yard field goal—the longest in Super Bowl history, until KC’snailed a 57-yarder in the third—and a trick-play touchdown. San Francisco’s Jauan Jennings threw the ball across the field to Christian McCaffery, who then ran for a 21-yard score.
Alas, Mahomes had one shot at the end zone to win it, but he left a ball to Kelce, who was well-covered, short. Butker’s chip shot tied it, 19-19, at the end of regulation. An impressive overtime drive by San Francisco—13 plays, 66 yards, more than seven minutes long—stalled at the end. The Niners could only score a field goal. It wasn’t enough.The Chiefs dynasty talk began in earnest. “It’s the start of one,” Mahomes said afterwards. “We’re not done.
