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.
