  LAS VEGAS — It's hard for Patrick Mahomes to top what he has already done in the NFL. But he found a way in Super Bowl LVIII.

Mahomes' overtime drive for a game-winning touchdown beat the San Francisco 49ers and moved to the top of the list of Mahomes' greatest moments. It's his second game-winning Super Bowl drive in two seasons, and his Super Bowl victory count is up to three.

Mahomes completed some big passes and ran for two first downs on the final drive of overtime. Needing a field goal to tie the game and a touchdown to win, Mahomes hit Mecole Hardman for a 3-yard touchdown and the 25-22 victory. With that, Mahomes added another ring, another Super Bowl MVP award and another chapter to his legend. He had 333 yards and two touchdowns.

Brock Purdy led a drive that ended in a field goal and a 19-16 49ers lead with less than two minutes to play. Then Mahomes led a drive in the final two minutes of regulation, and Harrison Butker hit a field goal with three seconds left to tie the game. It was just the second time a Super Bowl has gone to overtime, joining Super Bowl LI between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons.

The 49ers scored a field goal to start overtime, but the Chiefs were guaranteed a possession as part of the NFL's new postseason overtime rules. Mahomes needed a touchdown to win, and everyone in Allegiant Stadium knew how that was going to turn out.
