MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to three touchdowns in the final 6:13, and they overcame a double-digit deficit for the third postseason game in a row to beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs trailed 20-10 and faced a third and 15 when Mahomes threw to Tyreek Hill for 44 yards. They scored a touchdown four plays later, and quickly forced a punt. Mahomes then hit Sammy Watkins for 38 yards to set up a 5-yard scoring reception by Damien Williams that put Kansas City ahead to stay with 2:44 to go.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) —  The Chiefs are the first team to overcome three double-digit deficits in the playoffs to win. And they won all three games by double digits. This one was the most dramatic. San Francisco led 20-10 late in the third quarter and the Chiefs were having trouble moving. It all changed when Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill for a 44-yard gain to set up a touchdown. Not five minutes later, the Chiefs were pulling away _ and bringing the first title back to KC in 50 years.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — 24-year-old Patrick Mahomes was selected the game’s MVP after bouncing back from being intercepted on two straight possessions and seeing the Chiefs’ title hopes appear in serious jeopardy. Mahomes finished 26 of 42 for 286 yards and the two scores, and also had a 1-yard touchdown run against the 49ers.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — When Andy Reid walked into an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles armed with a 6-inch binder containing notes on how to build a winning team, management was sold. It took him 21 years and two teams to win it all.  For two weeks leading up to the game, Patrick Mahomes and his teammates talked about how badly they wanted to win for Reid. They were elated after they did it. His players rave about his work ethic but mostly they love him because he allows them to be themselves.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fl. (AP) – The comeback Chiefs did it again and are Super Bowl champions. Patrick Mahomes threw for a pair of touchdowns in the game’s final 6:13, helping the Kansas City Chiefs erase a 10-point deficit and beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl 54. The go-ahead score: A 5-yard touchdown pass to Damien Williams with 2:44 left.

Williams is a former Miami Dolphins running back and returned to his former field — Hard Rock Stadium — to enjoy the most significant night of his career. 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.

Mahomes righted himself after throwing interceptions on consecutive possessions. The comeback started when Mahomes engineered a 68-yard drive that was capped by a one-yard scoring toss to Travis Kelce. Mahomes shook off a slow start to finish 26 of 42 for 286 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Tyreek Hill had 105 receiving yards on nine catches, and Sammy Watkins had five receptions for 98 yards.

The 49ers took advantage of Mahomes’ first interception by turning it into a one-yard scoring run by Raheem Mostert late in the third quarter. Mostert’s scoring run gave San Francisco a 20-10 lead.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid earned his 222nd career victory, and his first in a Super Bowl. No other coach had won more games without winning an NFL championship.

The 49ers fell short in their bid for a record-tying sixth Super Bowl title, even though they dominated for much of the first 3 1/2 quarters. Garoppolo threw for 219 yards and kept the Chiefs’ defense guessing by completing passes to eight receivers.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Luka Garza bounced back from a slow start to score 25 points and No. 18 Iowa clamped down in the final four minutes to beat No. 19 Illinois 72-65 on Sunday. Garza is the Big Ten’s top scorer, but he didn’t have a point in the first 15 minutes. He wound up making a career-high four 3-pointers and shot 9 of 16 overall. He also had 10 rebounds for his 13th double-double of the season. Andres Feliz scored 17 points for Illinois, which had won seven in a row.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) – Naz Hillmon scored a career-high 30 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to lead the Michigan women to a 78-63 win over No. 18 Iowa. Hillmon shot 14 of 19 from the floor and collected her seventh double-double this season. The Wolverines got their first win over a ranked opponent this season after four losses and their first victory over a Top 25 team since beating Iowa on Feb. 1 last year in Ann Arbor. Alexis Sevillian led Iowa with 15 points.

The Atlantic boys basketball fell to the Des Moines Lincoln Railsplitters 72-43 on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. The Trojans got off to.a good start in the game and led nearly the entire opening quarter. It was 13-9 heading into the second but the Railsplitters quickly tied it up and then would take a lead at 21-18 that they wouldn’t relinquish the rest of the way.

It was 28-20 in favor of Lincoln at the half and 46-27 by the end of the third. Atlantic had trouble trying to create space against some tight defense from the Railsplitters in the second half. They really pressured the ball handlers out top and pushed the Trojans away from the basket.

Nate Feller led Des Moines Lincoln with 21 points and Aidan Cord finished with 14. They improved to 10-4 on the season and will next head to face Johnston on Tuesday.

Atlantic got 11 points apiece from Craig Alan Becker and Bradley Dennis. The Trojans fall to 6-8 on the year and will travel to Red Oak on Tuesday night. Skyler Handlos was out for the second straight game with illness and Tyler Moen is still out with an injury. The Trojans hope a couple more days will get the team back to full strength after illness hit the team hard last week.
