Zero
The 49ers’ Darrell Luter Jr. had a punt bounce off his leg and Ray-Ray McCloud tried scooping it up instead of falling on the ball.
The fumble set up a Chiefs touchdown.
Unsung heroes
Give a piece to all the Chiefs’ much-maligned drop-plagued receivers: Hardman (57 yards, TD), Justin Watson (54), Rashee Rice (39) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (20, TD).
Key stat
10 Points the Chiefs trailed by, 10-0, meaning Mahomes has overcome a double-digit deficit in each of his Super Bowl wins.
Quote of the night
“I’ll celebrate tonight, I’m gonna celebrate at the parade and I’m gonna do whatever I can to be back in this game next year — try to go for that three-peat.”
— Patrick Mahomes
