Best individual Super Bowl moments by Chiefs and 49ers players

In the linebacker’s last game for the San Francisco 49ers, he hounded Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes when he was in the pocket.

Buckners final line: 1.5 sacks, three hits on the QB, and six tackles in the losing effort.

Hall of Fame kicker Jan Stenerud scored the first nine points of Super Bowl IV for the Chiefs, including a 48-yard field goal.

According to Kansas City QB — and fellow HoFer — Len Dawson, the Vikings were shocked that they would try to even kick the ball from that far out.

In Jerry Rice’s Super Bowl debut, the Hall of Fame wideout set the record for most receiving yards in the Big Game with 215 yards on 11 targets.

He scored a 14-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter as San Fran trailed, and he even added a five-yard rush in earning Super Bowl MVP honors.

While he threw for more yards in Super Bowl I — though Kansas City lost to Green Bay, 35-10 — Dawson led the Chiefs to victory in Super Bowl IV.

He completed 12 of 17 passes for 142 yards and a score, earning MVP honors. Dawson was KC’s lone QB to win the Big Game until Patrick Mahomes came along.

The Chiefs linebacker had one of the biggest plays in last year’s Super Bowl. With his team trailing by a TD, he returned a fumble for a 36-yard score.

He also recorded nine tackles in KC’s 38-35 win over Philly.

Calm under pressure. That’s how Montana earned the nickname Joe Cool.

And he certainly lived up to it, leading the San Francisco 49ers on a 92-yard, game-winning drive, all while spotting actor John Candy in the end zone and pointing it out during the huddle.

Many consider this to be the most iconic Super Bowl play of all time.

Kansas City head coach Hank Stram called for the 65 toss power trap, and Garrett ran the ball in for a five-yard touchdown.

For the game, he carried the ball 11 times for 39 yards and that TD.

San Francisco 49ers QB Steve Young emerged from Joe Montana’s shadow and had a game for the ages.

The lefty QB threw for 325 yards and a record 6 TDs, earning MVP honors. The previous record holder he surpassed? None other than… Joe Cool.

Mahomes has so many highlight-worthy moments in the big game that you can’t just pick one. So, here are three, pick your favorite.

1. In the last game against the 49ers, Mahomes called the play “Jet Chip Wasp” on a 3 and 14, which resulted in a 44-yard gain as he passed the ball to Tyreek Hill.
2. When he ran circles around the Buccaneers, and still completed this crazy pass.
3. Or, this 26-yard run up the middle against the Eagles last year.
