After a clutch overtime drive, Patrick Mahomes is the Super Bowl MVP

Super Bowl live updates: Kansas City Chiefs beat San Francisco 49ers (21)

When the game was on the line, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes called his own number, making two huge plays with his legs before slinging a touchdown pass for an overtime victory.

The effort earned him his third Super Bowl MVP award.

How it happened: With a fourth down in overtime in his own half of the field — knowing if they failed to convert, the Chiefs would lose the Super Bowl — Mahomes ran for the needed yardage and kept the drive going.

On the next set of downs, he made a clutch throw on the run to convert on third down.

And then there was his biggest play yet: A huge scramble up the middle for 19 yards to the San Francisco 13-yard line. The man with the golden arm was getting it done on the ground, willing his team to victory the way he had so many times this season.

He finished it off with a short pass to receiver Mecole Hardman for a touchdown and a back-to-back Super Bowl championship.

Despite struggling earlier in the game, a big-game player delivered on the biggest stage.

Beyoncé teases new music release in Super Bowl ad

From CNN's Alli Rosenbloom

Beyoncéknows how to break the internet.

She attempted to do that again on Sunday when she teased the release of new music in a Verizon ad that debuted during theSuper Bowl.

Moments later on herofficial website, the Grammy-winner and Texas native posted a clip of a new song that sounds like a departure from her most recent dance-centric album "Renaissance," with a guitar strumming along to a tune about the card game Texas hold ‘em.

"Act II" and the date March 29 was listed on her site.

Thead spot, titled "Can’t B Broken," featured "Veep" actor Tony Hale challenging BeyoncĂ© to break the cellular service company’s 5G capabilities, and she accepted the challenge in glorious fashion.

"It’s Verizon 5G, the network’s crazy powerful," Hale said, adding, "Bet you can’t break that!"

Confidently, Beyoncé retorts, "Bet you I can."

Beyoncé proceeds to go to great lengths to prove Hale wrong.

She is seen causing a scene at a lemonade stand in a nod to her hit 2016 album "Lemonade," introducing a robotic version of herself called "Beyoncé-AI" and even a Beyoncé Barbie, aptly named "Barb-Bey."

With no luck, she continues her attempts by announcing that she’s “running for BeyoncĂ© of the United States” and attempts to become "the first woman to launch the first rocket for the first performance in space" as she takes off in a space shuttle and performs a routine in zero gravity.

At the very end, the star is heard saying, "OK, they ready. Drop the new music."

With that kind of an exit, if anybody can break Verizon 
 It’s BeyoncĂ©.

Patrick Mahomes says Chiefs' win is the start of a dynasty

From CNN's Kyle Feldscher

Super Bowl live updates: Kansas City Chiefs beat San Francisco 49ers (22)

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is ready to deem his Kansas City Chiefs a dynasty after they won back-to-back Super Bowl championships.

“It’s a start of one. We are not done,” Mahomes said immediately after the game. “I know we are going to celebrate tonight, celebrate with the parade Wednesday in Kansas City — but we are not done. Got a young team. We are going to keep this thing going.”

It’s the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl championship in five years, and they’ve played deep into the postseason in each of Mahomes’ six years as a starter. It’s hard to argue with a resume like that.

Star tight end Travis Kelce agreed: "The goal has always been to get three (championships), but we couldn’t get here without getting to two, and having that target on our back all year," he said on the CBS broadcast. "And I love these guys right here. The men that we just won this thing with — family forever, baby."
