Super Bowl LVIII was an American football game played to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2023 season. In a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, from four years earlier, the American Football Conference (AFC) champion and defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers 25–22 in overtime to secure their second consecutive Super Bowl championship. The Chiefs became the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the New England Patriots in 2004.[4] The game was played on February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. This was the first Super Bowl to be held in the state of Nevada.[5][6] It marked the third straight year that the Super Bowl has been played in the Western United States, following host cities Inglewood, California, in 2022 and Glendale, Arizona, in 2023.

As this was the Chiefs' fourth Super Bowl appearance and third win in five years, many have said this game established them as a dynasty.[7] It was the second Super Bowl to go into overtime, the first being Super Bowl LI, seven years earlier.[8][9] Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named Super Bowl Most Valuable Player (MVP), completing 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns. It was also the longest Super Bowl by a margin of ten minutes and fifty-nine seconds. The game's attendance of 61,629 was the lowest figure in Super Bowl history outside of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10]

The game was televised nationally by CBS, streamed on Paramount+, alternatively broadcast on youth-oriented sister network Nickelodeon, and televised on the Spanish-language network Univision.[11] It was also the second simulcast in Super Bowl history since Super Bowl I.[12]

Background

Host selection

Allegiant Stadium, February 2024

On May 23, 2018, the NFL initially selected New Orleans as the site for Super Bowl LVIII. The game was part of a new awarding process implemented by the league that was introduced in Super Bowl LVI. In the past process, cities that wished to host a Super Bowl submitted bids, which were deliberated and voted upon at the league owners' meetings. The new process no longer allows cities to bid for the game; the NFL now chooses the potential candidates.[6][13]

In March 2020, the NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games beginning in 2021, pushing Super Bowl LVIII to February 11, 2024, and causing a conflict with New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations.[14]

The NFL announced on October 14, 2020, that New Orleans would host Super Bowl LIX instead of Super Bowl LVIII,[15] and then announced on December 15, 2021, that Allegiant Stadium was chosen as the new site.[16]

The official logo was unveiled on February 13, 2023; it follows the updated logo template established by Super Bowl LVI, with the traditional Roman numerals featuring imagery reflecting the host city/region (in this case, the Las Vegas Strip and the Las Vegas sign). The numerals are also slanted inward to evoke the architecture of resorts such as the Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas. The unveiling of this logo was met with acclaim, with many praising its originality and its effective representation of the host city's spirit.[17][18]

Teams

San Francisco 49ers

Brock Purdy with the Iowa State Cyclones in 2021

Under seventh-year head coach Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers ended the 2023 season with a 12–5 record, the NFC's No. 1 seed, and a first-round bye.[19]

Following the success of rookie quarterback Brock Purdy, who led them to an NFC Championship Game the previous season, the 49ers traded away Trey Lance, the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and made Purdy the full-time starter.[20] In his first full season as the starter, Purdy was named to the Pro Bowl, throwing for 4,280 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions and finished with a passer rating of 113.0, the highest in the league.[21] The offense was also led by first-team All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey, whom the 49ers acquired midway through the 2022 season.[22] He led the league in scrimmage yards (2,023) and total touchdowns (21). San Francisco's receiving core was led by Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel, all of whom surpassed over 1,000 scrimmage yards.[21] The 49ers set an NFL record by becoming the first team in league history to have four players with over 1,000 scrimmage yards.[23] The 49ers' offense finished second in the league in total offense with 398.4 yards per game, which included finishing fourth in pass yards per game (257.9) and third in rush yards per game (140.5).[24] The offensive line was spearheaded by left tackle Trent Williams, who received his third First-team All-Pro selection and his 11th Pro Bowl nomination.[25]

On defense, the 49ers finished third in the league in scoring defense, giving up 17.5 points per game, and finished first in the league with 22 interceptions (tied with the Chicago Bears).[26] San Francisco's defensive line featured Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa, who led the team with 10.5 sacks, along with defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (seven sacks) and Arik Armstead (five sacks).[21] First-team All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner led the team with 132 combined tackles, four interceptions, four forced fumbles, and 2.5 sacks.[21] The secondary was led by second-team All-Pro cornerbacks Charvarius Ward (five interceptions and 72 tackles) and Deommodore Lenoir (three interceptions, 84 tackles).[21]

This game marked the 49ers' eighth Super Bowl appearance. The franchise won its first five Super Bowl appearances (XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV, and XXIX) but lost its last two prior to this game (XLVII and LIV). If the 49ers had emerged victorious, they would have been the first NFC team to win six Super Bowls and the third team overall, joining the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers.[27]

Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes in 2021

Kansas City entered the 2023 NFL season as defending Super Bowl champions after winning Super Bowl LVII. They finished the 2023 season with an 11–6 record, their 11th consecutive winning season and eighth consecutive AFC West title under eleventh-year head coach Andy Reid, and as the No. 3 seed in the AFC.[28]

In his sixth season as the starter, quarterback Patrick Mahomes had his worst statistical season in several categories, including yards per attempt (7.0), passing yards per game (261.4), interceptions (14), and passer rating (92.6).[29] His receivers struggled at several points throughout the season,[30] and going into week 18, the Chiefs led the league in dropped passes. Despite this, Mahomes set a career-high in completion percentage with 67.2% while throwing for 27 touchdowns.[31] Travis Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving yards for the fourth time in five seasons, but finished with under 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2015.[32] Rookie receiver Rashee Rice led the Chiefs' wide receivers with 938 yards and seven touchdowns, while second-year running back Isiah Pacheco ran for 935 yards and seven touchdowns.[33] The offensive line featured two Pro Bowl selections: guard Joe Thuney and center Creed Humphrey.[34]

The Chiefs' defensive line featured Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones, who had 10.5 sacks, and defensive end George Karlaftis (10.5 sacks). The secondary was led by cornerbacks L'Jarius Sneed (two interceptions, 78 tackles, 14 pass deflections) and Trent McDuffie (80 tackles, 5 forced fumbles, 3 sacks), along with safety Justin Reid (team-high 95 tackles, 1 interception, 3 sacks).[35]

Super Bowl LVIII was the Chiefs' sixth Super Bowl appearance and fourth in the past five seasons, all under head coach Andy Reid, and featuring quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. Entering the game, the Chiefs had won three Super Bowls (IV, LIV, and LVII) and lost two (I and LV). The Chiefs also won one pre-Super Bowl era AFL Championship, in 1962 (as the Dallas Texans).[36]

Playoffs

As the No. 1 seed in the NFC, the 49ers received a first-round bye. In the NFC Divisional Round, the 49ers hosted the No. 7 seed Green Bay Packers. Although the Packers took a 21–14 lead heading into the fourth quarter, the 49ers rallied to win the game 24–21 thanks to a late game-winning drive led by Purdy that ended with a touchdown by Christian McCaffrey. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw sealed the game for the 49ers by intercepting quarterback Jordan Love on the Packers' final drive. This allowed the 49ers to advance to their third straight NFC Championship Game and their fourth in the last five seasons. In that game, the 49ers hosted the No. 3 seed Detroit Lions. The 49ers fell behind quickly, trailing 24–7 at halftime. They scored 27 straight points to take a 34–24 lead late in the fourth quarter. The Lions would score one more touchdown after that but would fail to recover the ensuing onside kick attempt, sending the 49ers to their second Super Bowl in five seasons with a 34–31 win.[28]

As the No. 3 seed in the AFC, the Chiefs hosted the No. 6 seed Miami Dolphins in the AFC Wild Card Round. At this game's kickoff, the temperature was −4 °F (−20 °C), which was the fourth-coldest in NFL history. The Chiefs defeated the Dolphins easily, winning the game 26–7. The Dolphins' only points in the game came from a touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The win saw the Chiefs play their first road playoff game in the Mahomes era, the AFC Divisional Round against the No. 2 seed Buffalo Bills. This game saw five lead changes between the two teams. The Chiefs won 27–24 as Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass missed a potential game-tying field goal wide right in the final two minutes. With that win, the Chiefs advanced to their sixth straight AFC Championship Game, which they played on the road against the No. 1 seed Baltimore Ravens. Miscues on both offense and defense doomed the Ravens; the Chiefs led 17–7 at halftime and came up with big defensive stops in the second half to win 17–10. The Chiefs won back-to-back AFC titles for the second time in the Mahomes era and advanced to their fourth Super Bowl in five seasons.[28]

Pre-game notes

As the designated home team in the Super Bowl's annual rotation between the two conferences, the Chiefs chose to wear their red home jerseys with white pants. The 49ers wore their white away jerseys with gold pants.[37][38]

As the designated home team, the Chiefs practiced at the host team Las Vegas Raiders' practice facility in Henderson, Nevada during the week leading up to the game. The 49ers practiced at UNLV's Fertitta Football Complex in Paradise, Nevada.[39] Both teams stayed off-Strip at luxury hotels at the Lake Las Vegas resort area east of the city, with the Chiefs staying at the Westin and the 49ers staying at the Hilton.[40]

The game was a rematch of Super Bowl LIV (played in February 2020), in which the Chiefs defeated the 49ers, 31–20. Patrick Mahomes was named the MVP of that Super Bowl. Bill Vinovich was also the referee for that game,[41] making him the first referee to preside over two Super Bowl meetings between the same teams.[42]

This game was also the first since Super Bowl LV to feature the defending champion. That game saw the defending champion Chiefs fall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[43]

The relationship between Taylor Swift (pictured) and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has attracted significant media attention.

The game has been dubbed by fans and media outlets as the "Taylor Swift Bowl" or "Swiftie Bowl", referencing singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and her fans, which are known as Swifties. The season broke viewership, merchandise, and ticket sales records for the NFL, following Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and her frequent appearances at Chiefs games.[44][45][46] Fans who began supporting the Chiefs due to Swift's association with them have been dubbed as "Chiefties".[47]

Broadcasting

United States

Television

Super Bowl LVIII was televised by CBS, the network's 22nd broadcast of the game.[48] It was the first Super Bowl to be broadcast under the new 11-year NFL television contract, which began a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN.[12][49] CBS utilized 165 cameras, including six cameras embedded within the goal posts ("doink cams"), 48 cameras capable of high frame rate video (24 of which were in 4K for zoom capabilities), and 23 cameras for augmented reality effects.[48] Additionally, robotic cameras were placed throughout the city at The Strat, Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay, and the Renaissance Las Vegas; another camera ran on a wire over the Bellagio fountains.[48] CBS televised the game in 1080p with high-dynamic-range (HDR) color, upconverted to 4K on selected television providers.[50] The broadcast was produced by Jim Rickhoff and directed by Mike Arnold.[48]

CBS' coverage began in the late morning with NFL Slimetime, followed by NFL Films' Road to the Super Bowl; a documentary about the history of The NFL Today entitled You Are Looking Live!; and pregame coverage starting at 2:00 PM with The NFL Today.[48] The series premiere of Tracker aired following the game.[51]

CBS's lead broadcast team of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (color commentary), Tracy Wolfson (sideline reporter), and Gene Steratore (rules analyst) was on the call of their third Super Bowl together, joined by additional sideline reporter Evan Washburn and special teams and kicking analyst Jay Feely.[52][48] Other announcers and analysts during the pre-game will include Kyle Brandt, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher, Charles Davis, Ian Eagle, Boomer Esiason, Jonathan Jones, Jason McCourty, Matt Ryan, Phil Simms, and J. J. Watt.[48]

After CBS sub-licensed the Spanish-language rights to its last three Super Bowl games to ESPN Deportes,[53][54] TelevisaUnivision announced in May 2023 that it had reached an agreement with CBS to carry Super Bowl LVIII via TUDN;[55][56][57] Univision produced coverage drawing from the CBS feed, in parallel with a separate production (drawn upon NFL Media's world feed) for carriage by Mexican sister network Canal 5.[58] CBS also carried Spanish commentary via SAP on the main broadcast.[59] Ramses Sandoval, Memo Schutz, and Martín Gramática were the broadcast team for Univision.[60]

On August 1, 2023, CBS Sports announced that it would carry a youth-oriented alternate broadcast of the game on Paramount Global sister network Nickelodeon; the network has aired alternate broadcasts of select NFL games since 2021, but this was the first such broadcast for a Super Bowl.[61] Billed as Super Bowl LVIII: Live from Bikini Bottom, the broadcast incorporated SpongeBob SquarePants-themed augmented reality effects and features (in addition to those seen on previous games aired by the network), and appearances by characters from the series (such as "analysts" SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, along with "sideline reporter" Sandy Cheeks) accompanying announcers Noah Eagle and Nate Burleson.[62] Nickelodeon aired the series premiere of Rock Paper Scissors after the game.[63]

Advertising

CBS charged $6.5 million to $7 million for a 30-second commercial, remaining steady with the previous year's game.[64] Several health and beauty brands bought ads during the game, with analysts suggesting that these buys may have been motivated by Taylor Swift's presence at the game, and the potential for increased viewership by women.[65] FanDuel's ad following their second "Kick of Destiny" featured a posthumous appearance by actor Carl Weathers, who died on February 1, 2024.[66]

The campaign for 2024 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. aired a spot, which called back to his uncle's campaign, during the game, the first presidential candidate to do so since Donald Trump and Michael Bloomberg's campaigns aired spots during Super Bowl LIV.[67] Temu showed their spot three times during the Super Bowl itself, in the first, second, and third quarters, as well as an additional fourth time immediately after the conclusion of the game.[citation needed]

Most of the advertising time sold by CBS also included airtime on the Nickelodeon simulcast, and selected advertisers were given opportunities to participate in promotional initiatives incorporating Nickelodeon personalities. Commercials for products inappropriate for children (such as alcohol, gambling, and R-rated films) were not carried; Paramount Global sold about 15 Nickelodeon-specific advertising slots for $200,000 to $300,000 each to replace these ads.[68][69]

Streaming

The game streamed on Paramount+ in English, on TelevisaUnivision's Vix in Spanish,[70] in addition to the paid NFL+ app.[71]

Radio

Westwood One held the national radio rights to the game, airing it on their various affiliates.[72] The broadcast team featured booth announcers Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) and Kurt Warner (analyst), sideline reporters Mike Golic and Laura Okmin, and rules analyst Dean Blandino. Entravision broadcast the game in Spanish.[73] Annually, over 25 million people listen to the Super Bowl via radio broadcast.[48]

Game summary

First half

Christian McCaffrey in 2019

Kickoff officially occured at 3:40PM MST.[89] The game began with the 49ers receiving the kickoff, which resulted in a touchback. Their initial drive gained 49 yards in five plays, with Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy advancing the ball to the Chiefs' territory before McCaffrey lost a fumble at the Kansas City 27-yard line, ending the drive and giving the Chiefs possession.[90]

The Chiefs' first possession resulted in a punt after a three-and-out. The 49ers' following possession, which went for four plays and 16 yards, was hampered by a false start and a holding penalty. After the 49ers failed to convert a third-and-27, the drive ended in a punt. The next drive by the Chiefs, which went for four plays and ten yards, ended in a punt as well.[90]

Following these back-and-forth punts, the 49ers put up a ten play, 46-yard drive that began at their own 17-yard line. Though the first quarter ended with the game still scoreless during this drive, it culminated in a 55-yard field goal by 49ers kicker Jake Moody, making the score 3–0 with 11:48 remaining in the second quarter.[90] At the time, it set the record for the longest field goal completed in a Super Bowl.[91]

After the kickoff following the field goal went for a touchback, the Chiefs began their next drive at their own 25-yard line. The Chiefs went down the field, moving 66 yards in four plays and reaching the 49ers' nine-yard line. But on the drive's fifth play, Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the 49ers.[90]

The next two possessions both ended in punts. The 49ers, after recovering the fumble, moved 21 yards in four plays before punting the ball away, and the Chiefs followed this up by going three-and-out. After the Chiefs punted the ball 50 yards to San Francisco's 33-yard line with 7:49 remaining in the second quarter, the 49ers began an eight play, 67-yard touchdown drive that culminated in a 21-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver Jauan Jennings to running back Christian McCaffrey. After the extra point was successfully converted, the 49ers had extended their lead over the Chiefs to 10–0 with 4:23 remaining in the first half.[90]

The Chiefs got the ball on their own 25-yard line following a touchback on the ensuing kickoff. The team used most of the remaining time in the half in a 13 play, 65-yard drive that resulted in a 28-yard field goal by Harrison Butker, bringing the score to 10–3 in favor of the 49ers with twenty seconds remaining in the half. After the following kickoff went for a touchback, the 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy took a kneeldown, sending the game into halftime.[90]

Second half

Harrison Butker in 2017

The second half began with a 49ers kickoff, which went for a touchback. The Chiefs, beginning the ensuing drive on the 25-yard line, fumbled on first down, but recovered it themselves; they lost ten yards on the play. After a subsequent gain of ten yards on 2nd and 22, Patrick Mahomes threw an interception to Ji'Ayir Brown on third down, giving the 49ers possession of the ball at the Kansas City 44-yard line. Though starting inside of Kansas City territory, the 49ers were unable to score on the possession following the turnover, going three-and-out, but pinned the Chiefs at their own 2-yard line after a punt by Mitch Wishnowsky. Following this, the Chiefs and the 49ers traded three-and-out possessions.[92]

With 9:02 remaining in the third quarter, following the aforementioned set of three-and-outs by each team, the Chiefs possessed the ball at their own 14-yard line. Beginning with an eleven-yard pass by Mahomes to Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce, Kansas City went on a nine-play, 47-yard drive that culminated in a 57-yard field goal by Butker.[92] This field goal, which cut the Chiefs' deficit from 10–3 to 10–6, set the record for the longest field goal completed in a Super Bowl, breaking the record set by Moody earlier in the game.[92][93]

The kickoff after Butker's record-setting field goal went for a touchback, and the 49ers went three-and-out on the ensuing drive. After Wishnowsky's 55-yard punt was returned seven yards to the Kansas City 25 yardline, the Chiefs ran three plays for eight yards, and punted the ball away.[92] The 40-yard punt by Tommy Townsend landed on the San Francisco 25-yard line, and hit the leg of Darrell Luter Jr. at the 49ers 19-yard line after the ball bounced; Kansas City cornerback Jaylen Watson recovered the ball at the 49ers 16-yard line, thereby giving the Chiefs possession inside the San Francisco red zone.[92][94] On the following play, the Chiefs scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. After Butker successfully converted the extra point, the Chiefs had a 13–10 lead with 2:28 remaining in the third quarter.[92]

After yet another touchback on a kickoff following a score, the 49ers began their next drive with the ball at their own 25-yard line. After San Francisco converted a 3rd and 5 on their own 30 on a 17-yard pass to Jennings, and 2nd and 1 on a two-yard run by fullback Kyle Juszczyk, the 49ers had advanced to the Chiefs 42-yard line to close the third quarter. The drive continued, eventually resulting in a ten-yard touchdown pass from Purdy to Jennings after a total of twelve plays for 75 yards, which gave the 49ers a 16–13 lead with eleven minutes and twenty-seven seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The extra point attempt following the touchdown was blocked by Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal.[92]

Down three points, and after yet another touchback on a kickoff, the Chiefs began to drive against the 49ers. With 9:22 seconds left in the fourth quarter, on a 1st and 10 at the 49ers' 46-yard line, Mahomes fumbled the ball, but recovered and threw an incomplete pass on the play. The drive continued, totaling twelve plays and 69 yards; after marching down to San Francisco's 3-yard line, Mahomes was sacked on 3rd and goal, resulting in a 4th and 6. Butker kicked a 24-yard field goal, tying the game at 16–16 with 5:49 seconds remaining in the quarter.[92]

The kickoff following Butker's game-tying field goal went for a touchback. Starting on their own 25-yard line, the 49ers moved the ball down the field, getting a 1st and 10 at the Chiefs' 40-yard line after four plays. After a five-yard run by McCaffrey, Purdy threw an incomplete pass, and the two-minute warning occurred. Purdy threw another incomplete pass on third down, bringing up a 4th and 5 and setting up Moody for a field goal attempt. Moody converted a 53-yard field goal try, giving San Francisco a 19–16 lead with 1:53 remaining in the game.[92]

After Moody's kickoff went for a touchback, the Chiefs began their final drive of regulation on their own 25-yard line with one minute and fifty-three seconds to go. The Chiefs began to drive down the field on the next several plays. After converting a 3rd and 2 from the San Francisco 43-yard line with 42 seconds remaining, and later a 3rd and 7 from the 49ers' 33-yard line, the Chiefs had a 1st down from the 49ers 11-yard line with ten seconds to go. After an incomplete pass from Mahomes intended for Kelce, with six seconds remaining, Butker kicked a game-tying 29-yard field goal to top off the 11-play, 64-yard drive, bringing the score to 19–19. With three seconds remaining on the clock, and after a touchback on Butker's kickoff, the 49ers took a kneel down and sent the game into overtime.[92]

Overtime

Mecole Hardman in 2019

In overtime, the 49ers possessed the ball first, driving down the field before stalling and kicking a field goal. Mahomes and the Chiefs responded by driving 75 yards in 13 plays, converting two third downs and a fourth down to set up first-and-goal on the San Francisco 3-yard line. Mahomes then found Mecole Hardman for the game-winning score. [90]

Overall, the game lasted for 74 minutes and 57 seconds of game time, making it the longest Super Bowl and 7th-longest NFL postseason game ever.[95] It also broke the Super Bowl record for most teams scoring in overtime, with two, overtaking the record of one, and most points scored in overtime, with nine, beating the previous record of six.

Mahomes completed 34 of his 46 pass attempts for 333 yards with two touchdowns and 1 interception and was named the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, his 3rd of his career. He also ran for 66 yards.[96] McCaffrey was the top rusher of the game with 22 carries for 80 yards. He also led the 49ers with 8 catches for 80 yards and a receiving touchdown. The top receiver of the game was Kelce, with 9 catches for 93 yards.[97]

Officials

Super Bowl LVIII featured seven officials, a replay official, a replay assistant, and eight alternate officials. The numbers in parentheses below indicate their uniform numbers.[101][102]

Super Bowl LVIII was the third time Vinovich refereed a Super Bowl, while Perlman and Hill officiated their final games after careers spanning 23 and 25 years, respectively.[101][102] Killens, a former NFL linebacker, became the first person to officiate a Super Bowl after having played in one (he played for the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV).[103]
