What happened in Vegas: Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes did something no one has ever done: He threw a Super Bowl-winning touchdown pass on the final play of the title game. San Francisco kicked a field goal to open overtime of Super Bowl 58, and Mahomes had 75 yards to go to try and answer. He scrambled for eight yards on fourth-and-1 to keep the drive alive — a huge play that probably very few remember. He went 8 for 8 on passes in overtime, engineering a perfect drive. The finale: a 3-yard toss to Mecole Hardman with 3 seconds left in overtime, and the Chiefs were back-to-back champions.
Saquon goes up, up and away: Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (left) used a spin move — and a leap — on the same play. The 180-degree hurdle was one of the signature moves of 2024 in the NFL. It made a 14-yard reception unforgettable. “Best play I’ve ever seen,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said.
All Hail ...: They call it a “Hail Mary” in football, the desperation pass into the end zone with no time left to try and win a game. The Wahington Commanders pulled it off against the Chicago Bears (below), Jayden Daniels’ throw going into team lore.
