    My team didn't make the dance but this was an excellent Super Bowl. The second half and OT drama made up for a slow first half. As a conference rival, I hate to say it but Mahomes and Reid are a damned good pair. Lots of maybes but I have no idea which AFC team can stop their reign. Hats off to KC fans, enjoy the victory

    Enjoyed this game more than most games for the tensely fought ending. Although I have no allegiance to either team (other than a lingering negative feeling about the 49ers from growing up in Texas), our house was pro KC because our eight year old is pro TS. Which is honestly as good a reason as any to pick a team to root for.

    I will say that we attended a college women's basketball game in person earlier in the day, and although our team did lose, that was more fun overall.

      I have lately gotten into going to college basketball games, I like both mens and women’s. I think it’s a blast.

    As a Chiefs fan myself, I always hated that last year’s SB ended on a questionably timed pass interference call. And it gave all the haters an asterisk next to the win like we didn’t ruin the Eagles the entire second half of the game.

    So I wanted to say that I’m just so glad that this game was officiated so cleanly so that there’s less room for excuses from the doubters. And also because it’s just nice to see a game officiated well after a season rife with bad calls and no calls.

    There was a moment in the game, I think close to the two minute warning in the final quarter when I had accepted that the Chiefs were going to lose and then to have the COMEBACK IN OT!! The basement exploded with roars and cheers and all that good stuff. What a fun game it turned out to be!

    My team won! I don't really watch football, but I'm from Kansas City, so I was more or less obligated to watch. But damn that was a good game, simply due to the close back and forth scoring and down to wire plays. I thought the Chiefs were going to lose at the end of the regulation, but then they tied it up. And then of course that final drive with 0:03 left on the clock (which I guess really didn't mean anything, due to OT rules) that sealed it. It was fun.

    Afterwards, it was like a warzone in my neighborhood with that TD. Fireworks, firecrackers, and I'm what I'm assuming were gunshots, sigh. Just another day in KC.

    I also thoroughly enjoyed the halftime show with Usher and Co., too. Now I'm just looking forward to that parade. Not necessarily because I'll go (I went to the 2015 Royals World Series parade; the number of people was insane), but because we might get some free time off at work for it. Here's hoping!

    I thought the Chiefs were slow to get started, getting dominated by the 49ers in the first quarter, but boy did the Chiefs hang on tight at the end.

A lot of crucial moments that could have changed the outcome. The early trick play and the long kicks were some of the memorable highlights for me
