We are officially in a new era! A Kansas City Chiefs Dynasty! The Kansas City Chiefs have firmly planted themselves at the top of the NFL mountain with its third Super Bowl in as many as five seasons. Future Hall of Famers, Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Tight End Travis Kelce, and Head Coach Andy Reid secured another championship after what some may call a tumultuous regular season for the squad. 

The first half was a defensive struggle, with multiple turnovers and uncharacteristic mishaps by both teams. Certainly mirroring the issues that plagued the Chiefs during the regular season. Trailing 10-3 at the half, the second half was vastly different for Mahomes and company. They held the 49ers to zero points in the third while putting up ten of their own, eventually earning their way into overtime with two crucial Harrison Butker field goals in the fourth. 

Neither team fully took control of the opportunity at hand, failing to reach the end zone on their initial drives. The 49ers finally hit a field goal with a little over seven minutes on the clock and as time wound down, Mahomes guided Kansas City into the red zone and threw a three-yard game winning touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman with three seconds remaining in the extra period.  

Chiefs Kingdom, we just won back-to-back Super Bowls.

 The victory cemented the team as one of the all time greats and they became the first team to be back-to-back champions since the New England Patriots in 2003-2004. Patrick Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP for the third time in his career, firmly entrenching him as the second greatest quarterback ever behind Tom Brady. Mind you he has all of these accolades while only being a full time start for six seasons. We may be looking at the new G.O.A.T. and a potential three peat. Something that has never been done in NFL history.   

“Really just the whole game, just our whole entire season, it was the defense keeping us in there, and the offense making plays when it counted. Just know that the Kansas City Chiefs are never underdogs.”

— Patrick Mahomes

A bold statement from the leader of a team that were underdogs their entire road to the big game. The Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers were all favorites during this run and given this victory and their dominance since the beginning of the decade, Mahomes may be right.
