          Patrick Mahomes is the youngest QB to win Super Bowl MVP, joining Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to do so before turning 25. Mahomes is the third-youngest Super Bowl MVP in history, trailing only Marcus Allen and Lynn Swann, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Story

          Patrick Mahomes on importance of winning Super Bowl: "I had two goals when I became starting QB for Chiefs. First was to win for Lamar Hunt and second was to win Super Bowl for Coach Reid."

          The 49ers' long and arduous climb to get back to the top of the NFL mountain will have to wait at least another year to take the final step. They fall short in Super Bowl LIV as the Chiefs storm back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to win it 31-20. The Niners are well-positioned to return here next year but they will have no shortage of difficult offseason decisions to make in order to make it happen and take the next step.

          Score -- Chiefs 31, 49ers 20: Williams all but wraps up a Super Bowl win for the Chiefs with a 38-yard TD run, Kansas City's third straight touchdown drive.

          Score -- Chiefs 24, 49ers 20: The Chiefs' comeback continues with their second straight touchdown, a 5-yard pass from Mahomes to Damien Williams. Mahomes is the fifth QB in the Super Bowl Era (since 1966) with at least 10 TD passes in a single postseason: Tom Brady (10 in 2014), Joe Flacco (11 in 2012), Kurt Warner (11 in 2008) and Joe Montana (11 in 1989) are the others.

          Score -- 49ers 20, Chiefs 17: Set up by a 44-yard completion to Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs climb closer with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Travis Kelce. Story

          Third quarter

          49ers left tackle Joe Staley has a hand injury and his return is questionable. Rookie Justin Skule is in for Staley. Would be a big loss if Staley is unable to return.

          Entering today, Patrick Mahomes has made 35 regular and postseason starts in his career and has never lost by more than one score. The 35 straight starts in which your team does not lose by more than one score is the second-longest streak to begin a career among QBs to debut in the Super Bowl era behind Russell Wilson at 38 straight.

          Score -- 49ers 20, Chiefs 10: Raheem Mostert runs it in from 1 yard out to cap a 55-yard drive following Fred Warner's interception of Mahomes.

          Score -- 49ers 13, Chiefs 10: Robbie Gould caps a nine-play, 60-yard drive that took 5:31 off the clock with a 42-yard field goal.

          Halftime

          From LeBron James to Lady Gaga, the collective social media world went wild over the Latin superstars' electric performance at Hard Rock Stadium. Story

          Second quarter

          From ESPN/NFL Next Gen Stats: Patrick Mahomes is averaging 6.2 yards per attempt against zone tonight (9-13, 81 yards). That would be the fourth-lowest in a game in his career. Mahomes averaged 9.4 yards per attempt vs zone in the regular season, third among qualified QBs. Mahomes led the NFL in pass TD (13) and Total QBR (89) when facing zone defenses this season.

          John Pluym, ESPN4y ago

          Score -- 49ers 10, Chiefs 10: Kyle Juszczyk's 15-yard touchdown reception pulls 49ers even with Chiefs

          Score -- Chiefs 10, 49ers 3: Bashaud Breeland's pick of 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo leads to points

          First quarter

          Chiefs RB Damien Williams is unusually rested for a featured running back at this point in the season and it showed in the first quarter, when he gained 28 yards on five carries. Between three different injuries, Williams missed time at various points of the season, so he has little of the wear and tear he would otherwise be saddled with. The Chiefs are so comfortable with Williams they went tonight without LeSean McCoy, whose playing time had dwindled with Williams' return as featured back.

          The Chiefs' decision to go for it on 4th and 1 in the 1st quarter was a good one. According to ESPN's Win Probability model, the decision improved the Chiefs' chance of winning by 3.3% over a field goal attempt.

          The big game is attracting a ton of betting action on both sides. Of the five largest wagers, three are on the Chiefs and two are on the 49ers.

          The 49ers inactives are quarterback C.J. Beathard, receiver Dante Pettis, cornerback Dontae Johnson, tight end Daniel Helm, wide receiver Jordan Matthews, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and defensive tackle Kevin Givens. With running back Tevin Coleman returning from a right shoulder injury, the Niners keep some extra depth active in the form of Jeff Wilson Jr. with Pettis inactive. All four of San Francisco's backs are active for Super Bowl LIV.
