Heading into the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV, the Kansas City Chiefs attempted to mount a comeback, trailing the 49ers 20-10 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.

The Chiefs jumped off to a bad start in the final frame. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes tossed a pass slightly behind Tyreek Hill. The ball bounced off the wideout's hands, and safety Tarvarius Moore snagged the interception.

We saw why tight end George Kittle is one of the best at his position. He scooped a low ball for 12 yards to move the chains as the 49ers looked to put a stronghold on their 20-10 lead.
