Two men ran onto the field after entering from the Chiefs' end zone.
They took off his shirt before being tackled to the ground by security.
“Oh, we have people on the field!” CBS color analyst Tony Romo screamed as the incident occurred.
Jim Nantz chimed in, saying, “Oh my god, we do! We got a streaker on the other side, well…”
And Romo noted, “There's a partial streaker… Shirt off.”
The ex-NFL quarterback then pointed out that the announcers “couldn't talk about” the disruptors.
Patrick Mahomes turned around to see the guards interfering.
The disruption came at an unfortunate time for Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who was setting up for a field goal.

Fortunately for Butker, the incident did not last long.
The former Georgia Tech standout then hammered home a 57-yarder to cut Kansas City's deficit to 10-6 – and set a new record for the longest kick ever made in the Super Bowl.
The streaker episode coincided with the moment the momentum shifted in the Chiefs' favor.
A few drives later, Mahomes connected with Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a 16-yard touchdown, giving the defending champions their first lead of the game.
The Chiefs had a terrible first half and trailed 10-3 at halftime.
Before halftime, a frustrated Travis Kelce had a sideline with head coach Andy Reid.
Kansas City also lost linebacker Dre Greenlaw to an Achilles injury, which he suffered when he slipped while jogging back onto the field.
