Kansas City Chiefs wins Super Bowl in overtime, defeating 49ers 25-22
The victory also made them the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions in 19 years.
Patrick L. Mahomes II made sure of it, leading another super comeback on the NFL’s biggest stage in America’s showcase capital.
Mahomes threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman in overtime, and the Chiefs became the NFL's ninth repeat Super Bowl champs.
With pop star Taylor Swift watching boyfriend Travis M. Kelce from a suite, the Chiefs captured their third title in five years, a run that puts them among the league's greatest franchises.
It was the second of 58 Super Bowls to be tied after regulation, and the first played under new overtime rules that ensured both teams got the ball.
The Chiefs (15-6) trailed 22-19 after Jake Moody kicked a 27-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime, but Mahomes rallied the Chiefs, completing another impressive comeback in a rematch of the Super Bowl four years ago.
Mahomes ran 8 yards on fourth-and-1 to keep the Chiefs' chances alive and then scrambled 19 yards to set up the winning score, which came 14:57 into the extra period — just before what would have been the second OT.

NFL fans in the [British] Virgin Islands turned up to their favourite sports bars to catch the action on big screens.
Among the sports bars that saw a large turnout of NFL fans were Captain Mulligans and Aroma’s Cigar and Martini Bar on Tortola and Foxy’s on Jost van Dyke.
Captain Mulligan’s
Captain Mulligans showed the action on at least large televisions and also projected it on a large screen on its lawns to give their customers more options.
There was also a Bud Light promotion, which has become synonymous with Super Bowls.
Aroma’s
Aroma’s Cigar and Martini Bar located on Cyril B. Romney Tortola Pier Park had various promotions sponsored by Caribbean Cellars, including on Bud Light and Stoli.

Customers had the option of viewing the game inside or on a breezy balcony.
Foxy’s
Super Bowl fans also seem to find their way at Foxy’s Restaurant and Bar and it was no different this year, as a large crowd watched the game on the large television screens.
