The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in an overtime thriller in Super Bowl LVIII. In a game that went down to the wire, the Chiefs offense needed someone to step up an old friend appeared out of the shadows.
Veteran WR Mecole Hardman received his "redemption moment." Hardman has been slandered and criticized over his career, especially during his first tenure with the Chiefs from 2019-2022. He never became the next great wideout for Patrick Mahomes or the next Tyreek Hill, resulting in questions about his value with this team for his draft slot and the trade-up required to select him.
Hardman spent the start of this season with the New York Jets before being traded back where his career began. He caught 15 receptions for 124 receiving yards and zero touchdowns between the two teams.
Who would have thought Hardman would end this game in overtime? Not many people. Hardman finished the game 3-for-3 for 57 yards and one touchdown. He had the longest play from scrimmage for KC on a 52-yard bomb in the first half.
Hardman the psychic?
Before the season as a Jet, Hardman was asked by a magician asked who he thought the Jets would play in the Super Bowl. He said the 49ers, as seen in Kyle Yates' tweet below.
Fast forward to tonight and he closed the deal against the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII with the game-winning touchdown in overtime. He predicted that he'd be playing in this game, he simply didn't know it would be that he was playing for his former team.
When the game was on the line, Andy Reid called "Tom & Jerry." It's a play that he considered an iteration of last year's "Corndog" but with a little ketchup and mustard on it. Hardman was trusted to make the play and save the day, lifting the Chiefs to a victory over the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
