All their efforts, brought New England to 28-28, resulting in an overtime. At this moment, Tom Brady’s team stepped up. They won the toss. They scored the game-winning touchdown on a 2-yard run. That was an incredible game for sure!
But let’s not forget Patrick Mahomes and the team have an art of coming back too!

So, now in order to win this Super Bowl LIX game, the Chiefs needed to deliver an all-time comeback. As the Chiefs were at 6 against Eagles’s 34 in the third quarter, they indeed needed to play big at the time. If Patrick Mahomes’s Chiefs would have been able to do this, they would have been on the first rank of making a huge comeback in NFL history. But that didn’t happen!
Patrick Mahomes’s Chiefs not only failed to create this comeback history. In addition, they failed to make 3-peat history, as the Eagles kept the ball possession for most of the time in the game. Nevertheless, the Eagles’s fans are finally happy to win the Super Bowl after 2018. The 7-year drought just ended for them!
