After a 50-year wait, the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions once again.

They staged a fourth-quarter comeback to beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

It wasn't easy for the Chiefs, as for the third straight game, they had to come from behind, trailing 20-10 heading into the fourth quarter.

The sensational comeback was led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who engineered three touchdown drives in just over five minutes, hitting Travis Kelce and Damien Williams with short touchdown passes to take the lead.

With the win, the Chiefs snapped the second-longest Vince Lombardi Trophy drought among teams that have won a Super Bowl.
