LOS ANGELES – Patrick Mahomes ended the Kansas City Chiefs' 50-year wait for a return to the Super Bowl on Sunday as the San Francisco 49ers routed the Green Bay Packers to advance to next month's NFL showpiece. It is the first time the Chiefs have advanced to the Super Bowl since their victory over the Minnesota Vikings in 1970. The Titans had reached the brink of the Super Bowl after a giant-killing playoff run which included wins over the New England Patriots and the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens. But it was another disappointing outing for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who once again fell short in his pursuit of a second career Super Bowl title. Rodgers later acknowledged that Sunday's defeat had stung as he faces up to the realisation that at 36, he may have only a limited number of opportunities to reach the Super Bowl again.
