The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions for the first time in 50 years defeating the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in front of a capacity crowd in Miami.
Down 10 points, the Chiefs rallied for 21 unanswered points in the 4th quarter on three touchdown drives by QB Patrick Mahomes, Jr. It was a remarkable reversal of fortune for Mahomes who struggled after throwing back to back interceptions in the 3rd quarter. The comeback earned Mahomes Super Bowl MVP honors. At 24, Mahomes becomes the youngest player to win Super Bowl MVP honors.
The victory gives Andy Reid his first Super Bowl title after 20 seasons as a head coach (most of them with the Philadelphia Eagles). As I stated a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty hard to root against the Chiefs.
Kansas City sports fans also gets even with San Francisco after the Royals fell short against the Giants in the 2014 World Series.
But this is the Chiefs' moment. And with Mahomes and Reid at the helm, it probably won't be their last.
