What a game from both teams. What a comeback from the Chiefs’ high flying offense.

Why the Chiefs Won

Even though the Chiefs got off to a slow start, they still found a way to comeback. The Chiefs became the first team in history to be able to come back from a double-digit deficit in 3 straight postseason games and win the Big Game. The Chiefs had the game close; at the half it was tied at 10. Going into the fourth quarter, the 49ers had a lead of 20 – 10. The Chiefs then stopped the Niners on defense and got the ball back. Then they scored on a 1 yard touchdown pass. On defense, they stopped them again. This time they scored on a 5 yard pass. This score put the Chiefs up by a score of 24 – 20. Their defense stood strong, once again stopping the Niners. The last scoring play was a 38 yard rush. Finally, Kendall Fuller made an interception with 57 seconds that sealed the game. The Chiefs won by keeping the game close and then getting the passing game going. Patrick Mahomes was 26 for 42 for 286 yards, with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. In the running game, Damien Williams had 17 carries for 104 yards and 1 score. The Chiefs did everything they needed to do to win the Big Game.

Why the 49ers lost

The 49ers lost because their rushing game was completely shut down. Not a single one of their running backs had over 60 yards. The rushing game was led by Raheem Mostert who had 58 yards over 12 rushes. The Niners defense was mediocre, giving up 21 points in the last 6 and a half minutes. Their passing game was decent. Jimmy Garoppolo had 219 yards and was 20 for 31, with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. However, it was not sufficient enough to put up the amount of points they needed to.

My pick in my previous post was correct with the Chiefs winning. I agree with Patrick Mahomes taking the MVP honors. Patrick Mahomes really led the offense. Who did you think was going to win the game?
