Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shrugged off three sloppy quarters of football and did just sufficient to guide his group to their first Super Bowl championship in 50 years.

With the Chiefs trailing the San Francisco 49ers 20-10 late in the fourth quarter, Mahomes rallied his group with past due landing strikes to Travis Kelce and Damien Williams. The protection hung on from there, and the Chiefs escaped with a 31-20 victory.

Those who guess on Mahomes and the Chiefs would not have much to bitch about. After all, all hope seemed lost for Kansas City until Mahomes and the offense kick-started the comeback.

Well, in truth, Mahomes cost bettors aplenty on Kansas City's ultimate pressure.

One prop bet allowed bettors to wager the over/below for Mahomes' general speeding yards. Per ESPN's David Purdum, the below began at 27.5, and it moved "up to as high 36.5." And the 24-year-old quarterback, consistent with Purdum, was at 44 yards on the floor right through Kansas City's ultimate drive.

However, Mahomes proceeded to kneel down on three instantly plays -- for losses of 5, 3 and 7 yards. Mahomes then threw the ball downfield at the ultimate play to empty the clock. That left Mahomes with 29 official speeding yards at the evening, so those who wager the over misplaced out big time.

Caesars Sportsbook director of buying and selling Jeff Davis mentioned that the Mahomes' over/below dashing yards have been "close to a six-figure swing (in favor of the house)," per Purdum.

For many of the recreation, Mahomes and the Kansas City offense faced resilient drive and tight coverage from the 49ers. The 2018 MVP was once sacked four occasions and picked off two times. But like he did in the Chiefs' previous two playoff games, Mahomes discovered a strategy to deliver his crew again from a double-digit deficit.

Mahomes finished the game with 26 completions on forty two attempts for 286 yards and two touchdowns. He and Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith are the only two avid gamers to win an MVP award plus a Super Bowl earlier than age 25.
