Mics Caught Super Bowl Refs Praising Patrick Mahomes Before Game-Saving Play by Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in five years in dramatic fashion on Sunday night, beating the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in overtime.
One of the biggest plays of the game came from the Chiefs defense when it stopped the 49ers on a key third-down play with just under two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. San Francisco then kicked a field goal to go up 19-16, but it allowed Mahomes to get the ball again and force OT with a field goal.
This video from NFL Films gives a great inside look at the play, and it also shows the officials talking before the snap about the importance of keeping the ball out of Mahomes’s hands.
This is pretty great:
Fans loved that the refs were just like everyone who was watching the game:
