For the Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday was a fairytale.
The 2024 Super Bowl, which started 6:30 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, was a rematch between the Chiefs and 49ers, who last met in the championship game in 2020.
Like last time, the Chiefs defeated the Niners after final hour scoring sprees. The Chiefs won 25-22 after the game went into overtime for only the second time in Super Bowl history.
With that victory, the Chiefs have become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions in nearly 20 years.
Besides the sense of déjà vu, Super Bowl 58 also brought plenty of viral moments. Usher performed a 15-minute set at halftime, Beyoncé announced a new album after breaking the internet with a Verizon ad and Taylor Swift, fresh off the Tokyo Dome stage, was in the crowd to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Here's what you missed.

We're headed to OT. Here's how it works
From our friends at the NBC News blog:
The NFL has its own set of postseason overtime rules, and they were changed recently. NBC Sports breaks down how it will work.
After a coin toss to determine who takes possession of the ball, each team will get a chance to score. Then, OT turns to sudden death. The next score wins.
During the regular season, at the end of a 10-minute overtime period, if the game is still tied, the game is marked as a tie.
But that can’t happen in the postseason — and definitely not at the Super Bowl.
A tie score at the end of the first overtime period launches a second 10-minute overtime, then a third and so on, until one team comes out on top.

Butker hits his fourth FG of the game to tie things up. It's looking like overtime!
If so, it would be only the second OT game in Super Bowl history.
The first was in 2017, when the Patriots came back to beat the Falcons, 34-28.
