How Patrick Mahomes escaped 49ers' Nick Bosa's diving sack attempt

No one caused Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes more stress in the pocket all season than Nick Bosa did during Super Bowl LIV.

The rookie put together one of the best performances by a defensive lineman all year at Hard Rock Stadium, picking up a sack, a forced fumble, four tackles, and 11 quarterback hits/significant pressures per Pro Football Focus, as the Ohio State product did everything in his power to will the Niners to the franchise’s sixth Super Bowl title.

After a strip-sack that Mahomes miraculously recovered earlier in the quarter, Bosa once again was bearing down on Mahomes on a critical third-and-five late in the game’s third frame.
