As ESPN’s Chris Berman exclaims, “How about that run?!” Mahomes, showcasing his athleticism, scrambles for key yards, setting the stage for the winning field goal.

“The conversation at halftime was ‘let’s just get back to being us!’” revealed Patrick Mahomes. That meant rediscovering their identity and playing with the intensity and execution that had defined their season. In the second half, they flipped the script. As Mahomes pointed out, “I felt in the first half they (the 49ers) brought the intensity to us, and we matched it in the second half and took over as we got in the overtime.”
