Chiefs defense comes through in Super Bowl triumph

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Kansas City Chiefs were staring at a double-digit deficit for the third time in three postseason games. “I went out there and told them, ‘You guys are going to go home like everybody else,’” Clark recalled. “I knew we weren’t in the ideal situation,” Mahomes said, “but I believed in my defense to get stops and they did.” The 49ers still had a chance after Williams reached over the pylon with 2:44 left, and a video review upheld the touchdown call that gave Kansas City the lead. But after allowing a first down, a defense that carried a newfound sense of purpose — “swagger,” safety Tyrann Mathieu called it — made four consecutive plays when they needed it most. We’re not going to get on that bus without a ring,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said.
