Patrick Mahomes' Kneel-Down to End Super Bowl LIV Cost Bettors Big Time

Patrick Mahomes shined for the Chiefs on Sunday en route to winning Super Bowl MVP, but Kansas City's QB cost certain bettors big time with his final kneel downs to clinch the victory.

Mahomes' over-under for rushing yards was set as high as 36.5 entering Sunday's game in Miami, according to ESPN's David Purdum. The Texas Tech product cleared the 36.5-yards mark late in the fourth quarter, and those who bet the over on Mahomes' rushing yards appeared to be on their way to a winning wager. That changed in the final seconds.
