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

Whereas, on February 11, 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 
        49ers by a score of 25 to 22, winning Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant 
        Stadium in Las Vegas;
Whereas the Chiefs achieved a Super Bowl victory despite having the toughest 
        path to get to the Super Bowl in history;
Whereas this is the fourth championship for the Chiefs in franchise history, as 
        well as the third Super Bowl win for the Chiefs in 5 years;
Whereas the Chiefs are the first NFL repeat champion in 19 years;
Whereas Patrick Lavon Mahomes II was named Super Bowl Most Valuable Player for 
        the third time, one of only three players to win this award at least 
        three times;
Whereas Andy Reid is now tied for third-most all-time Super Bowl wins as a head 
        coach;
Whereas the Chiefs went into halftime down by seven and had to rally for the 
        comeback;
Whereas the Chiefs were mistakenly labeled as the underdog for all 3 games of 
        the postseason;
Whereas in the first drive Leo Chenal forced a key fumble that was recovered by 
        George Karlaftis, and then in the fourth quarter blocked an extra point 
        to keep the game within a field goal;
Whereas Jaylen Watson critically recovered a fumbled punt in the third quarter 
        which breathed new life into the team;
Whereas Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker broke the record for the longest field 
        goal made in a Super Bowl in the second half by drilling a 57-yard field 
        goal to make it a 10-6 game;
Whereas the game ended on a 13-play, 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass 
        from Patrick Mahomes to Mecole Hardman to end the first enhanced 
        overtime period in playoff history and only the second overtime in the 
        history of the Super Bowl;
Whereas this year all-star tight end Travis Kelce surpassed the legendary Jerry 
        Rice as the all-time leader in postseason receptions with 165;
Whereas Taylor Swift has helped inspire new Chiefs fans and football fans across 
        the world;
Whereas the Chiefs defense, led by defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, 
        performed phenomenally, shutting down a 49ers offense that ranked at or 
        near the top of the league in every important statistic all season;
Whereas each of the players on the roster deserves recognition, including Nick 
        Allegretti, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Blake Bell, Nick Bolton, Ekow Boye-
        Doe, Isaiah Buggs, Deon Bush, Matt Bushman, Harrison Butker, Mike

        Washington, Jaylen Watson, Justin Watson, Tershawn Wharton, Joshua 
        Williams, and James Winchester;
Whereas the team honored the legacy of Norma Hunt, the matriarch of the Hunt 
        family and the Chiefs, who had never missed a Super Bowl before her 
        passing in June;
Whereas the world continues to see why Kansas City has the loudest fans in 
        football;
Whereas the Kansas City Chiefs continue to be the pride of Missouri and Kansas 
        by bringing the Vince Lombardi Trophy home to the great citizens of 
        Kansas City; and
Whereas this victory was a powerful moment for the players, coaches, owners, and 
        staff of the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as the fans of the team in the 
        Kansas City region, 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 incredible win in Super Bowl 
LVIII.
