LVIII Fun Facts

Growing up my favorite Chiefs were Christian Okoye on offense and Derrick Thomas on defense.

Derrick Thomas wore #58. I've always found it annoying that the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, such a nice round number. Well, now the Chiefs will always have Super Bowl 58.



The Raiders moved from Oakland to Las Vegas before the 2020 season. The Chiefs have played the Raiders four times in Allegiant Stadium, winning all four. Now the Chiefs are 5-0 in Las Vegas. 

The Chiefs won a Super Bowl on the Raiders field.
They celebrated a Super Bowl in the Raiders locker room.
MVS planted a Chiefs flag on the Raiders field. 
The Chiefs won a playoff game in Las Vegas before the Raiders did.


When the stadium was being built, a Chiefs fan planted a Chiefs Kingdom flag underneath Allegiant Stadium. Maybe that really is a good luck charm.

Let's see if you can see what all three of these images have in common:




They're all 3rd downs for the Chiefs, sure. 
They're also all 10 point deficits in the Super Bowl for the Chiefs. 
They're also all Super Bowls the Chiefs won.
