Newly released Super Bowl footage shows how Patrick Mahomes directed winning play

The dust has settled since the Kansas City Chiefs earned their third Super Bowl title in five years.

Patrick Mahomes and company are looking at doing what no franchise has done in NFL history – ‘three-peat’.

Only eight teams have won consecutive Super Bowl rings but three in a row is unheard of.

Patrick Mahomes makes the paramount decision

However, released Super Bowl LVIII footage shows Patrick Mahomes and the staff making a last-second decision, giving them this three-peat shot.

After Harrison Butker nailed a last-minute field goal to send the game to overtime, the San Francisco 49ers won the toss.

A decision that has been questioned but the Niners managed to score a field goal.

Mahomes confidently led the offense into the red zone.

Travis Kelce powered the ball down to the 3-yard line and gave the Chiefs a perfect goal-to-go opportunity.

But the Chiefs made a decision that would secure the Super Bowl moments after.

The three-time Super Bowl MVP and the coaching asked for ‘12’ to come into the game.

Number 12 Mecole Hardman quickly scampered to get his helmet and join the huddle.

With six seconds on the clock, the 26-year-old caught the Super Bowl-winning touchdown.

If Mahomes and the coaching staff did not make the last-gasp decision, the outcome could have been very different.

Despite catching the decisive pass in Super Bowl LVIII, Hardman has landed in free agency.

He was signed to a one-year deal after being traded back to the Chiefs from the New York Jets.

A nostalgic part of the Chiefs fan base might want to see the front office resign the wide receiver.

Hardman remains on the open market as he tests free agency.

If he does not return to Kansas City this offseason, he will leave knowing his last touch of a football won a Super Bowl.
