Super Bowl LVII was one for the books, as it brought a fourth Super Bowl victory for the Chiefs, as well as some notable moments and drama. While it was relatively low scoring in comparison to past Super Bowls, with the final score being 25-22, many fans still consider it to be just as exciting as the ones before it.
This year’s game was very unpredictable, with San Francisco being in the lead for the second, third, and most of the fourth quarter, when the Chiefs suddenly tied with them, resulting in the game going into overtime.
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 0-0, with nobody in the lead. At the end of the second quarter, however, the 49ers were put in the lead, with the score being 10-3. San Francisco still had a three-point lead on the Chiefs at the end of the third quarter, the official score being 13-10. The pressure really started to build up during the fourth quarter, when the teams tied 19-19, and the game was led into overtime. During overtime, the 49ers were up by 3 due to a record-breaking field goal, when the Chiefs miraculously scored a touchdown with just 13 seconds left, finishing the game 25-22 in favor of the Chiefs.
