“Appreciate the quick action of the [Kansas City Police] ending a chase of a suspected impaired driver at the parade route,” Mayor Quinton Lucas wrote on Twitter. “We’ll stay vigilant about the threats like these throughout the day.”
Despite the scary incident, Chiefs fans enjoyed their time at the parade as the team celebrated their first Super Bowl win in 50 years. Patrick Mahomes, the Super Bowl MVP, spoke to the crowd at the end of the parade and he was happy to win a title for his coach.
“When I first got started in Kansas City, the first thing I wanted to do was bring the Lamar Hunt Trophy back to Kansas City, back to this organization,” Mahomes said of the trophy named for the late founder of the Chiefs per ESPN. “The second most important thing I wanted to do, was get the Lombardi trophy for the greatest coach of all time, Andy Reid, baby.”
The Chiefs finished the regular season with a 12-4 record and the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. They were able to defeat the Houston Texans in the divisional round of the playoffs and the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship before they took down the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. This is the team’s second Super Bowl win in franchise history.
