                               RESOLUTION


 
 Congratulating the Kansas City Chiefs on their victory in Super Bowl 
                                  LIV.

Whereas, on February 2, 2020, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 
        49ers by a score of 31 to 20, winning Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock 
        Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida;
Whereas this accomplishment marked the first Super Bowl championship for the 
        Kansas City Chiefs since their last appearance 50 years ago in Super 
        Bowl IV;
Whereas quarterback Patrick Mahomes became only the third Black starting 
        quarterback to win a Super Bowl as well as the youngest to have won both 
        the Super Bowl and the National Football League Most Valuable Player 
        Award (MVP);
Whereas quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the youngest quarterback to be named 
        Super Bowl MVP and third youngest player of any position to achieve this 
        honor;
Whereas running back Damien Williams delivered 133 total yards, including a 38-
        yard touchdown run and a 5-yard touchdown catch, tying the Super Bowl 
        record for most touchdowns in a single quarter;
Whereas new hope was breathed into the team after wide receiver Tyreek Hill 
        caught a 44-yard pass during an 83-yard drive that ended with tight end 
        Travis Kelce catching a touchdown pass with only 6 minutes and 13 
        seconds remaining;
Whereas the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit with less than 7 
        minutes left to win the game, becoming the first team in the history of 
        the National Football League (NFL) to trail each postseason game by 10 
        or more points and still overcome the odds to win each of the 3 games;
Whereas their 21 points scored in the fourth quarter tied a Super Bowl record 
        and was complemented by a powerful defense that continued to stop the 
        San Francisco 49ers offense and allow for the comeback victory to occur;
Whereas this was the 222nd win for head coach Andy Reid in his NFL coaching 
        history, a record for most wins before capturing his first championship;
Whereas each of the 53 players on the roster deserves recognition, including 
        Nick Allegretti, Jackson Barton, Blake Bell, Bashaud Breeland, Alex 
        Brown, Harrison Butker, Morris Claiborne, Frank Clark, Dustin Colquitt, 
        Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Cam Erving, Rashad Fenton, Eric Fisher, Kendall 
        Fuller, Mecole Hardman, Demone Harris, Chad Henne, Tyreek Hill, Anthony 
        Hitchens, Ryan Hunter, Chris Jones, Travis Kelce, Tanoh Kpassagnon, 
        Darron Lee, Jordan Lucas, Patrick Mahomes, Tyrann Mathieu, LeSean McCoy, 
        Matt Moore, Ben Niemann, Derrick Nnadi, Dorian O'Daniel, Mike Pennel, 
        Byron Pringle, Reggie Ragland, Austin Reiter, Demarcus Robinson, Khalen 
        Saunders, Mitchell Schwartz, Anthony Sherman, Daniel Sorensen, Terrell 
        Suggs, Darwin Thompson, Charvarius Ward, Sammy Watkins, Armani Watts, 
        Damien Williams, Xavier Williams, Damien Wilson, James Winchester, 
        Stefen Wisniewski, Andrew Wylie, and Deon Yelder;
Whereas the Kansas City Chiefs continue to be the pride of Missouri by bringing 
        the Vince Lombardi Trophy home to the great citizens of Kansas City; and
Whereas this victory was an incredible and overdue honor for the players, 
        coaches, and staff of the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as the fans of the 
        team in Missouri, the rest of the country, and around the world: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates and 
honors the Kansas City Chiefs on their inspiring win in Super Bowl LIV.
