Mahomes had just thrown a pass behind Hill, and San Francisco 49ers safety Tarvarius Moore intercepted it. He is its best active player, period, and now he has the championship, the signature comeback and all the requisite toughness and resilience to boot. Mahomes needed until nearly the last minute to find himself, but he finally did so. For 3½ quarters, the 49ers made the game look uglier for Mahomes than he has experienced as an NFL player. Mahomes needed to show he can do it the hard way.
