LAS VEGAS — From a halftime show that put Atlanta in the global spotlight to a thrilling overtime ending that featured a Georgia Bulldog hauling in the winning touchdown, Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas had it all.
Yes, even Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce sharing a kiss on the field for a fairytale finale to their football story this season.

From the commercials that went viral to the final score of the game itself, here's everything you missed last night from the Super Bowl.
Who won the Super Bowl? Final score
The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, 25-22.
The game ended in regulation with a 19-19 tie. First the Niners drove down and, with a chance to control the game inside two minutes at the KC, couldn't convert on a 3rd & 5. They had to settle for a field goal, going up 19-16, which the Chiefs easily matched by taking the ball and driving 64 yards in just under two minutes.

In overtime, San Francisco won the toss and elected to receive the ball, driving downfield to inside the Kansas City 10-yard line before their drive stalled out and they had to settle for a field goal, taking a 22-19 lead.
That would prove to be one chance too many given to Mahomes. The San Francisco defense had a chance to end things on a 4th & 1 at the KC 34 early into the Chiefs' drive, but Mahomes scrambled for an easy first down on a designed QB run outside to the right and from there he picked the Niners apart.
The final play saw UGA alum Mecole Hardman catch a short pass and scamper into the end zone. Chiefs win with six.

Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes stats
Mahomes won his third Super Bowl MVP nod, joining a club that only includes the best of the best to ever play quarterback -- Joe Montana and Tom Brady.
He finished with 333 yards passing and 66 yards rushing, with two touchdowns thrown and one interception. Mahomes completed 34 of 46 pass attempts and registered a 99.3 quarterback rating.
Taylor and Travis kiss
Tight end Travis Kelce -- better known as Taylor Swift's boyfriend -- was unsurprisingly Kansas City's leading receiver, bringing in nine catches for 93 yards.
Swift was featured throughout the game, her moments including a memorable beer chug.
With Kansas City winning, Swfities got the dream ending -- the couple sharing a kiss right on the field.

Usher's ode to Atlanta in the halftime show
Ludacris was there. Jermaine Dupri, too. And of course, Lil Jon was involved.
Usher hit all the notes in his halftime show, showing off both his legendary dance skills and recounting hits from "Yeah!" to "Confessions Part II" to "U Got It Bad."
He roller skated, he took his shirt off, he made older millennials feel 20 years younger.
More than anything, as he put it himself as his show came to a close, he "took the world to the A." You can re-watch it at the YouTube link above.
Beyoncé 'breaks the internet'
It's pretty hard to upstage the Super Bowl, but if anyone could do it, it's Queen Bey.
In a mostly fictional Verizon commercial, Beyoncé tried several tactics to try to break the internet.
With former “Veep” star Tony Hale playing an adviser, she opens a “Lemonade” stand, releases a saxophone album called “Let’s Get Saxy,” does her own version of the “Barbie” movie called “BarBey,” sells a cyborg version of herself, runs for “Beyoncé of the United States,” and blasts off in a rocket to become the first woman in space.
After Hale tells her none of that worked, she says on the space ship intercom, “OK, Bey ready: drop the new music.”
And she did. "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" were later released on Tidal, Spotify and YouTube. Check them out below.
