Kansas City beats San Francisco, 31-20, to win Super Bowl 54

The Kansas City Chiefs have beaten the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, to win Super Bowl 54.

It’s their first Super Bowl victory in 50 years, and coach Andy Reid’s first championship in 20 years as a head coach.

Patrick Mahomes threw for a pair of touchdowns in the game’s final 6:13. The go-ahead score was a 5-yard touchdown pass to Damien Williams with 2:44 left.

Williams finished off the title march with a touchdown run with 1:12 left, a 38-yarder around the left end to seal the outcome.

The Chiefs lost the first Super Bowl, then won Super Bowl 4 — some 50 years ago.

San Francisco was in the Super Bowl for the seventh time and fell just short of winning what would have been a record-tying sixth championship.
