The Kansas City Chiefs cemented their status as an NFL dynasty by capturing their third Vince Lombardi Trophy in five seasons with a 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Chiefs rallied from a 10-3 halftime deficit to force only the second overtime game in the history of the Super Bowl, where Patrick Mahomes threw a three-yard pass to Mecole Harris with three seconds left in the first overtime period to take the victory. Mahomes threw for 333 yards and another touchdown to Marques Valdez-Scantling in regulation en route to being named Super Bowl MVP for a third time.

Kansas City is the first team to repeat as Super Bowl Champions since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots went back-to-back in 2003 and 2004.
