A COMEBACK FOR THE AGES


This week, the Kansas City Chiefs triumphantly came back from behind to win their second straight super bowl and third in five years. It is safe to safe that even if they lose next year - which would be the expectation because no team has ever won three Super Bowls in a row - this Chiefs team is a Dynasty!

What made this Super Bowl victory so special was how far the team had to go this season. They started off quite poorly by their standards, dropping balls, committing infractions that led to penalties, and not closing games out. They looked mortal for the first time.

However, as the regular season was concluding, the team seemed to come together and realize that the playoffs were an opportunity to reset things and begin anew.

They defeated the Miami Dolphins at home in one of the coldest games in NFL history - well below freezing. They then went on the road and beat the Buffalo Bills - again in frigid conditions. Finally, they defeated the AFC Champions, the Baltimore Ravens, in Baltimore. Quite a run!

Many still considered them the underdogs in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco Forty-Niners. Those people must have forgotten that Patrick Mahomes is the Chief quarterback and that he is surrounded by an incredible group of players on offense and defense.

It was a disappointing first half of the Super Bow for the Chiefs. However, just like in the regular season, they came back strong in the second half and turned things around. It was a fourth quarter and overtime for the ages.

Congrats to Chiefs Kingdom! I cannot wait to visit there in June for Cate's soccer.

Let's get that third in row next year!
