Super Bowl 58 ended in a thrilling fashion when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, making it the second time in NFL history. But amidst all the celebration, a former NFL Pro Bowler isn’t exactly happy with the league’s new rules regarding overtime.
As the game was about to end, there were probably a lot of people present and those watching at home who implored the Chiefs to call for a timeout before the final seconds passed. On the other hand, the game would not have ended in a victory for the San Francisco 49ers if the clock ended in zero before Patrick Mahomes threw that game-winning pass to Mecole Hardman.
In the end, the Chiefs won Super Bowl 58, even though Hardman himself had no idea what was going on. This victory marks the third title Mahomes has won in a five-season span.
Former NFL Pro Bowler Tiki Barber Criticizes New Overtime Rules During Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Showdown
Like almost everyone else, former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber was confused about how the Super Bowl ended. He shares his thoughts on the new overtime rules in a video posted by WFAN Sports Radio on X:

Barber’s perspective may hold some weight amongst fans as the need to race against the clock makes the game itself so much more exciting. He adds that the part where the league neutered the clock serves no purpose and has no sense at all.
Even if Barber’s opinion is valid, the Super Bowl has come and gone, leaving the Chiefs as the victors. It remains to be seen whether the league will assess these new rules and make some changes in the future.
