Winning a Super Bowl is no easy feat, as evidenced by the fact that twelve NFL teams have never hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. And when it comes to winning consecutive Super Bowls, it becomes even more challenging, especially in today's highly competitive NFL.
The Kansas Chiefs changed the game by lifting the Super Bowl trophy and becoming the ninth team to achieve this feat. What's more, they broke a two-decade-long streak by becoming the first team to win back-to-back titles.
The 49ers held onto their lead until the Chiefs managed to score a crucial touchdown right before the game ended, turning it into an exhilarating nail-biter. The Chiefs staged an impressive comeback and ultimately emerged victorious with a 25-22 win.
