VIDEO: Damien Williams Clinches Super Bowl Victory for Chiefs With Late Rushing Touchdown
By Scott Rogust
It took them 50 years, but the Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions for the second time in franchise history! After a late Damien Williams receiving touchdown gave the Chiefs a late 24-20 lead over the 49ers, Kansas City got the ball back with less than two minutes remaining when San Fran turned it over on downs. On the ensuing drive, quarterback Patrick Mahomes handed it off to Williams and the running back took it to the house to ice the game for a 31-20 Chiefs win.
Damien Williams with the dagger! #SBLIV

This capped off a 21-point fourth quarter to overcome a 10-point deficit. Unbelievable.
The 49ers tried to attempt a seemingly unthinkable 11-point comeback, but quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo just couldn't do it. He threw a interception to officially end any chances of hoisting the franchise's sixth Lombardi Trophy.

Perhaps more importantly, Andy Reid is finally a Super Bowl champion. "Chiefs Kingdom," rejoice!
