KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs won the team's first Super Bowl title in 50 years on Sunday in Miami.
After the fourth-quarter comeback, players spoke to the reporters about the historic victory.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was named Super Bowl MVP, said taking everything one day at a time was key to making it this far.
Wide receiver Tyreek "Cheetah" Hill said he's "appreciative to be in this situation."
Safety Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu reflected on the team's defensive efforts against the San Francisco 49ers.
Tight end Travis Kelce praised head coach Andy Reid, who took home his first Super Bowl championship in a 21-season head coaching career.
Punter Dustin Colquitt, the longest-tenured player on the Chiefs' roster, said he was "at a loss for words" following the team's Super Bowl LIV win.
Defensive end Terrell Suggs, who joined the team in December after being waived by the Arizona Cardinals, became a two-time Super Bowl champ. He said it felt like the first one he won with the Baltimore Ravens.
Tackle Eric Fisher said the team "knew what had to be done" to get the Super Bowl win after spotting another opponent a double-digit lead.
Last, but certainly not least, defensive tackle Chris Jones said he told Reid he wasn't coming back to Kansas City without a championship ring. Following the team's Super Bowl LIV win, he said the Chiefs are coming back next year for a repeat.
The architect of the Chiefs' championship roster, General Manager Brett Veach, reflected on the team's journey and resilience.
Even KCMO Mayor and lifelong Chiefs fan Quinton Lucas couldn't help but puff out his chest with civic pride a bit after the first Super Bowl title of his lifetime.
