The Chiefs have won four Super Bowls in their franchise's history. Kansas City finally returned to the NFL's mountaintop after winning Super Bowl 54. It was the first time in 50 years that the Chiefs could consider themselves champions. Continuing their run of success, the Chiefs would win the big game in both Super Bowls 57 and 58.

KC used a similar concept to clinch the game just a few weeks earlier. In a Week 16 victory against the Houston Texans, the Chiefs freed up Perine on a late third-and-4, running two receivers across the field as diversions to gain 16 yards on a similar run-out-the-clock drive.
