Mecole Hardman put the San Francisco 49ers to bed on the field, but Travis Kelce took the time to add insult to injury during the game’s aftermath.

Utilizing the anthem of taunt, Kelce sang the hook to the 1969 classic ‘Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye’ alongside a crowd of Kansas City Chiefs fans in Las Vegas after the win.

Listen to his rendition of Gary DeCarlo’s lasting hit below:

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the 49ers 25-22 in overtime. Kelce was the game’s leading receiver with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a reception in overtime that set the Chiefs up with 1st & Goal right before Hardman’s Super Bowl-winning touchdown catch.

After four seasons in Kansas City, WR Mecole Hardman did not start this campaign with the Chiefs. However, after the franchise brought him back with a trade, it ended up being worth every asset that they sent out after he caught the winning touchdown in Super Bowl LVIII.

Following the 25-22 overtime victory for Kansas City over San Francisco in Las Vegas, Jim Nantz put the mic up to Hardman as he spoke to each of the Chiefs. He asked the now three-time title-winning wide receiver how it felt to secure the victory in his own hands. In response, Hardman said it felt about how you’d expect, even to the point where he nearly fainted mid-play.

“Man, it feels great. I’m telling you,” said Hardman. “I blacked out when I caught the ball, though. It feels awesome”

Hardman wasn’t joking either about blacking out in the moment. Patrick Mahomesthe Super Bowl LVIII MVP, said postgame that he had to tell Hardman that his catch just won them the championship after he completed it.

Hardman finished tied for second on the team in all receiving categories. He totaled three receptions for 57 yards and the touchdown. The receptions and yards finished behind only Travis Kelce while he tied Marquez Valdes-Scantling with the score.

The last of the trio was from three yards out, led to his lone score, and, as such, won the Super Bowl with three seconds left in overtime.

Hardman started the season in New York after signing with the Jets on a one-year deal. In five games with his second team, he caught just one pass for six yards.

That was before Kansas City dealt back for him to cement their receiving corps with a familiar face. They were able to do so by sending out a pair of picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

In 10 appearances back with the Chiefs, Hardman caught 17 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown. Essentially all of that came in the season finale in the regular season. That was the case except for tonight’s production where he caught some passes and ended up walking it off inside Allegiant Stadium.
