The thrill of the Super Bowl LVIII is on! The Kansas City Chiefs were ahead of the San Francisco 49ers for the first time in the Super Bowl LVIII, but the Niners soon picked up their lead once again. Besides that, Patrick Mahomes’ recent unwanted record has put a black spot on his impressive NFL resume.

Patrick Mahomes intercepted!

The 49ers were playing extremely strong against the Chiefs. And the Chiefs offense were having their own rough start. However, there were expectations that the Chiefs might turn out good from the start of the second half. But that didn’t happen either. During the opening drive of the third quarter, Ji’Ayir Brown picked off Patrick Mahomes.

After two plays, Mahomes threw an interception, marking his first in his last two postseasons. Mahomes scrambled before floating a pass to Travis Kelce, and unfortunately, Brown picked it up as an advantage.

Not only this, even in the beginning of the third quarter Chiefs already faced a setback when Isiah Pacheo fumbled a pitch from Mahomes, resulting in a loss of 12 yards. And then the following interception against Mahomes, turned it to be the worst.
