One pIay showed Mahomes scrambling out of the pocket for minimal yards on first down, clearly not enough for a fresh set of downs.
One video posted by fans showed that the play ended up being a first down even though he never made it that far.On a game-changing pIay, Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for 22 yards on third-and-7 to drive the Chiefs deep into 49ers territory.On a game-changing play, Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for 22 yards on third-and-7 to drive the Chiefs deep into 49ers territory.
Harrison Butker would eventually be called on to make the score 19-19 with three seconds left in the fourth quarter as the 49ers would kneel and the game would head into overtime.

This Boyâs Bold Move with $13 Catapults His Family to a $2 Million Home
A young boy asked his mom for the last $13 she had saved for food so he could start a business. A few months later, he took her back to their tiny, old trailer and handed her the keys to their new $2 million home.
Annie Byrne, a mother from Atlanta, believed in teaching her son, Simon, the value of hard work and determination. She knew this would help him grow into a responsible person.
âWho cares if my son and I live in a rusty old trailer now? One day, he will take me to a palace and make me its queen!â Annie, a widow who worked as a janitor and struggled to get by, often dreamed of a better life.
One day, a motherâs prayers were answered in the most unbelievable way when her son handed her the keys to a $2 million house. But she didnât know what sacrifices he made to make her dream come true.
âMom, when will we live in a nice house?â 13-year-old Simon asked his mother. âItâs getting cold, and itâs cramped inside.â
Simonâs mom, Annie, didnât know how to reply. She had very little savings, and her salary barely covered food and school costs for her son.
âVery soon⌠weâll move very soon,â she told Simon, holding back tears. âNow close your eyes and go to sleep.â
Annie couldnât sleep, though. She knew âsoonâ might never come. That night, she sat by Simon, heartbroken, thinking their struggles would never end.
The next morning, Simonâs friends asked him to play, but he didnât go. He couldnât be happy knowing how much his mom was struggling. While walking alone, Simon saw a boy earning money at a lemonade stand.
âWow!â Simon thought. He wanted to start a small business, but he had almost no money. He left disappointed, but then an idea hit him. He ran home, excited.
âMom, can I have some money?â he asked. Annie was hesitant.
âSon, I only have $13 left. Thatâs for food until I get paid next week,â she said.
But Simon was determined. âMom, please trust me. Just give me the $13. I promise you wonât regret it.â
Reluctantly, Annie gave him the money, curious about what heâd do with it.
Later, Simon returned with several packets in his hands. Annie asked what they were, but he didnât answer and grabbed a shovel. She watched in disbelief as he dug up the yard around their trailer, planting seeds from the packets.
âWhat are you doing?â she asked.
Simon smiled and said, âMom, if we plant today, weâll harvest tomorrow!â
At first, Annie didnât understand. But over the next few weeks, Simon worked hard, watering and caring for the garden. Soon, the yard was filled with fresh herbs and plants.
Annie thought theyâd use the produce for themselves, but Simon surprised her.
âMom, we canât eat this,â he said. âIâm selling it at a little stall Iâm setting up. Weâll use the extra for ourselves.â
Simonâs fresh produce became popular. People loved his natural, chemical-free vegetables, and soon, everything he sold was gone quickly. As his business grew, Simon realized he needed more space to grow more crops. He expanded the garden and started growing fruits and flowers too.
As the money rolled in, Simon and Annie moved into a rented house. Annie even quit her janitor job to help Simon in the garden. Their stall grew, and soon the whole town knew about them.
But their success attracted the jealousy of a wealthy farmer named Alex, who couldnât believe a young boy was doing so well. Curious, Alex visited Simonâs garden one day.
âHow do you grow such healthy produce without chemicals?â Alex asked.
Simon replied, âPeople should eat food, not poison. We use natural methods to keep the plants safe.â
Impressed, Alex realized he had misjudged Simon. Instead of competing with him, Alex asked Simon to partner with him. Simon ran to ask his mother if he should accept the offer.
After thinking it over, Annie agreed. Simon balanced school and working on Alexâs farm while still tending to his little garden.
Their business took off. They started selling produce not just locally but even to neighboring states. Two years later, Simon saved enough money to build a new house on the same spot their trailer once stood. With Alexâs help, the house was finally built.
When Simon handed his mother the keys to their new house, Annie cried tears of joy. Her dream had come true.
âSimon, you gave up your childhood to make me happy,â she said, hugging him. âI love you.â
Simon smiled. âI can still play and have fun, but I couldnât watch you struggle. Iâll always be your little boy!â
Though Simon was now successful, he never forgot the small garden that started it all. He kept growing the crops but never sold them again.
âWe should enjoy the fruits of our hard work, Mom,â he said, laughing. âWeâre going to eat this ourselves!â
Simonâs business continued to grow, and there were rumors
