Here’s a scary proposition for non-Kansas City Chiefs fans: Patrick Mahomes may regularly repeat his Groundhog Day Super Bowl triumph.
If one of the best defenses in football can’t stop the Chiefs’ young gun, even with everything going its way, what chance does the rest of the NFL have?
Mahomes’ coronation was officially completed on a serendipitous Super Bowl Sunday as he led the Chiefs to a 31-20 come-from-behind win over the San Francisco 49ers and their relentless front seven.
The 49ers flummoxed the young star quarterback for three quarters, intercepting Mahomes twice while claiming a 20-10 lead. San Francisco didn’t just sack Mahomes four times, the vaunted defense made him look discombobulated.
Mahomes lacked a signature pass for more than three quarters. With 1 minute, 35 seconds left in the third quarter, he threw a duck to Sammy Watkins; eight plays later, a mis-timed pass to Tyreek Hill bounced off Hill’s arms and into the hands of 49ers safety Tarvarius Moore. That sequence came one drive after another botched attempt to Hill landed in the arms of San Francisco’s Fred Warner.
