Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl LVII

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl LVII Champions. That’s our favorite kind of Victory Monday.

After finishing the regular season 14-3 and heading into the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Chiefs battled through two playoff games to earn their spot in the Super Bowl. Four quarters later, they came out on top, beating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35. Let’s take a closer look at what went down on the big day.

Quick recap

The game started with a classic Mahomes to Kelce touchdown pass to tie it at 7-7. Later in the first half, linebacker Nick Bolton recovered a fumble and scored a touchdown, tying the game up again at 14-14. The Eagles ended up taking a 10 point lead to end the first half — but don’t worry. Running back Isiah Pacheco put seven more points on the score board in the start of the third quarter. After a Kadarius Toney touchdown, the Chiefs were up 28-27 with just 12 minutes to go. Both teams fought back, bringing the game to a 35-35 tie, leaving the game-winning points in the hands (or should we say leg?) of kicker Harrison Butker.

Our favorite moments

Game time: Wide receiver Kadarius Toney’s 65-yard punt return in the fourth quarter.
Winning reactions: KC loves a reason to celebrate — the proof is on our Instagram.
Editor Bella’s pick: Watching KC Live! erupt in celebration after Nick Bolton recovered a fumble for a defensive touchdown.

What now?

It’s time to celebrate — here are the details for the official Super Bowl parade.

When: Wednesday, Feb. 15
Where: The route is still TBD — although in 2020, the celebratory parade began at Sixth Street and headed south on Grand Boulevard through downtown.
Fun fact: A council committee approved spending $750,000 from the city’s Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund for parade costs — with the total cost coming in at ~$3.75 million.
What to wear: Show your pride in place by flaunting some of our favorite Chiefs gear, like this men’s sweatshirt or this women’s reversible jacket.

Meet Janine Kluckhohn — a local book influencer known as @downtogetthefictionon — who is giving you the 411 on Kansas City-focused literature. From KC authors to books set in the region, consider this your official Kansas City book club. Let’s hand it over to Janine:

Looking to add some romance to your February reading list? “A Blues Singer To Redeem Him” is a historical romance set in Prohibition-era Kansas City, written by Elle Jackson. This fast-paced romance follows Evelyn Laroque in the pursuit of her dream to become a blues singer while also navigating the dangerous racial landscape of KC and her growing feelings for Lorenzo De Luca, the infamous club owner and son of a Mafia kingpin.

Jackson, a Kansas City area native, set out to write stories that showcase underrepresented groups of people while allowing others to see cultures through a different lens. “A Blues Singer To Redeem Him” will give readers an insight into 1920s Kansas City while also telling an unforgettable (and maybe deadly) love story.
