The Super Bowl is one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Almost every year, the highest-rated show on network television is the Super Bowl, with whatever the number-two show is running a distant second. Of the ten most-watched shows in the history of television, four of them are Super Bowl games. Clearly, the Super Bowl has become an event that all of America, both casual and hard-core fans alike, focus on. The ads and halftime entertainment have made the Super Bowl much more than a football game to Americans. The matchup for the Super Bowl this year was between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. 

There is history between these two teams since this will be a rematch from the 2019 Super Bowl where the Chiefs defeated the 49ers with a score of 31-20. Now these teams are completely different from the last time they faced off in the big game. 

The Chiefs went from a high-scoring offense with a subpar defense, to a complete 180 to a below-average offense with a stellar defense. Now the 49ers have had one of the biggest changes to their team. The most important positional change is their transition from Jimmy Garropolo to Brock Purdy at quarterback, who’s been playing phenomenally considering he was the last pick in the 2022 draft.

The more impressive road to the Super Bowl has been the Chiefs. The Chiefs defeated the Dolphins, Bills, and the Ravens. Going to Buffalo and Baltimore and beating them at home should tell you that the Chiefs are the best team in the AFC. All of those teams had top-ten offenses and defenses.The 49ers only had to play 2 games to get the Super Bowl. They defeated the Packers and the Lions.

The 2023-2024 season has come to a close with Super Bowl 58. The Kansas City defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22. The Chiefs rallied from a 10-point deficit to win their 3rd Super Bowl in the past 6 years establishing themselves as the next great NFL dynasty.

It was a defensive game in the first two quarters of the game. Both dynamic offenses just couldn’t get anything going against the high-flying defenses. Both teams were also making key special team plays that kept the game from getting out of hand for either team. Names like Chris Conley and Tommy Townsends were very popular in the first half. The score at halftime was 10-3 with San Francisco in the lead. 

The halftime show was special in a way. The main performance was led by Usher. songs such as “Love in this Club” and “Bad Girl” were the popular songs he sang. Other artists like H.E.R, Alicia Keys, Lil Jon were also performing. Celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Lebron, Taylor Swift, JayZ and Beyoncé were all in attendance as well.

The 2nd half was when the game turned up a notch and the offenses started to get it going. After Mahomes threw an interception in the early third quarter, things were looking dire for the Chiefs. But their defense got them the ball back in a hurry. 

The game went back and forth especially late in the 4th quarter. The Chiefs kicker Harrison Butkeer who broke the Super Bowl record for the longest kick with a 57 yard field goal, sent the game into overtime with a 29 yarder. 

In overtime, the 49ers took the ball first and got 3 to make the score 22-19. The Chiefs got the ball with a chance to win the game with a touchdown. That’s exactly what they did as with 3 seconds left Mahomes threw Mecole Hardman the game winning touchdown to win the Super Bowl. 

Patrick Mahomes won his 3rd Super Bowl MVP putting him as a top 3 Quarterback of all time. And, the Chiefs were the first team since the 2003-2004 Patriots to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Expect more magic from the Chiefs in the future.
