The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 3835 in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles were ahead for all of the first half of the game; the Chiefs then came from behind during the second half to tie the game. They kicked a tie breaking field goal in the dying seconds of the game to win.

During the postgame interviews after making a 27 yard field goal in the last seconds of the game, Chiefs' kicker
Harrison Butker, who is also a member of the Catholic fraternal organization Knights of Columbus, declares his faith in God. Harrison says, "I wouldn't have been able to get through the season if it wasn't for my faith in God and to be able to trust in Him and know that He's got a plan, and I'm thankful that His plan was for us to win the game."
During interviews for the Super Bowl week before the game, Harrison told reporters that he wouldn't be the person that he is today as a husband and father if it wasn't for his faith in God. Harrison said, "That kind of sets the tone for everything else, and everything falls under that. But that gives me the strength to go do everything that I need to do."
Chiefs' wide receiver Kadarius Toney posted a tweet responding to his team's Super Bowl win: "I'm still taking it all in, man." He also added, "Life is fast and real.
You just never question God."
Kadarius began the 2022 season playing with the New York Giants but he found himself traded to the Kansas City Chiefs halfway through the season. Kadarius had a big game; he scored a big touchdown and the 24 year old then ran the longest punt return in Super Bowl history - he ran it back 65 yards.

Michael Strahan squeezed linebacker
Nick Bolton about his "scoop and score play" during the third quarter. That play completely changed the momentum of the game. Michael Strahan said, "The ball had the perfect bounce right into your hands." This helped him "take it to the end zone." Nick Bolton said, "I just give my blessing to God, man, for allowing me to be in that position at that time."
Head Coach Andy Reid led the Chiefs to win their first Super Bowl by defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV in 2020. While the Chiefs went to Super Bowl LV in 2021, they lost the game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
