Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes were giddy over 49ers’ coin toss decision
The moment was the most controversial of Super Bowl LVIII and, when it happened, the Kansas City Chiefs felt fate had favored them to repeat at NFL champions.
That’s because, when the San Francisco 49ers won the coin toss before overtime, Coach Kyle Shanahan opted to take the ball rather than kicking off. The Niners took a 22-19 lead on a field goal in OT, but the Chiefs knew they could win it with a touchdown on their possession and that, because they couldn’t punt, Patrick Mahomes had four downs in which to engineer the game-winning drive. He did just that, with a TD pass to Mecole Hardman.
