By Josh Wilson
As the Kansas City Chiefs enter halftime of Super Bowl LVIII, they find themselves in a deficit. This era of the Chiefs led by Patrick Mahomes is not necessarily a stranger to playoff comebacks, but that doesn't make the predicament any less stressful for fans.
As the San Francisco 49ers maintained a 10-point lead until the final minute of the first half, the Chiefs found themselves in familiar territory.
