It didn't happen for 19 years - until Patrick Mahomas came along.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback led them to a dramatic 22:25 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in overtime and the second straight win by an NFL team in nearly two decades.
It wasn't a big game, but a Super Bowl is a Super Bowl.
San Francisco dominated the first half, threatening to close the story, and the Chips managed to stay on their feet, bend and not break.
They tied with three seconds left in regulation, won in overtime and the effort paid off as they became the first team since New England in the 2003-2004 seasons to win two consecutive titles.
It initially looked like a game going in the direction of the Forty Niners.
San Francisco dominated, dictated the pace and took the lead 0:10, but if you give opportunities to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey - they will take it with both hands, literally.
The quarterback and tight end teamed up for a winning drive, at the end of which McCall passed from Homes to McCall Hardman for a touchdown three seconds to the end of overtime - and won the game.
Mahomes won the Super Bowl MVP title for the third time in his career.
1st quarter: 0:0
A good start by Brock Freddie and the Niners, with a series of passes by the quarterback and good runs by Christian McCaffrey, but the running back, who doesn't often make mistakes, dropped the ball and the Chiefs took over the fumble.
The Niners stopped Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs immediately regained control.
The game continued to be tense, with neither team getting a significant threat until the end of the quarter, when the Niners shifted gears again and advanced towards the Chiefs' endzone.
The quarter ended scoreless.
2nd quarter: 3:10 to San Francisco
The Niners were stopped and Jake Moody attempted the longest field goal in Super Bowl history.
He threaded the ball from 55 yards straight between the bars -
0:3 to San Francisco.

Mahomes heated engines.
A huge 53-yard pass to McCall Hardman put the Chiefs in great position, but Isaiah Pacheco lost the ball and the Niners won it again.
San Francisco's dominance continued.
The Chiefs offense didn't keep the ball on the field, and the Niners played Kansas City's defense.
After a great move, Javan Jennings actually passed to McCaffrey, who cut straight to the endzone -
0:10 for the Niners.

The Chiefs had to get into a rhythm before the break, and Mahomas got the wheels in motion and advanced towards the Niners' endzone, who stopped him before he could make a move for a touchdown.
Harrison Buttaker put Kansas City on the board with a field goal -
3:10 San Francisco.
Quarter 3: 10:13 to Kansas City
The Chiefs started with the ball, but another drop by the awful Pacheco led to a loss of yards, and then Mahomas threw the ball into the hands of San Francisco's Jair Brown.
Kansas City continued to fake and failed to generate moves.
Mahomes took matters into his own hands and started running himself and moving forward.
After Moody broke the Super Bowl field goal distance record, Buttaker said 'I know better' and drilled a 57-yarder -
6:10 to San Francisco.
Has the momentum in the game changed?
The Chiefs received the ball, failed to make a move, but on the kick-off Ray Ray McLeod dropped the ball, Kansas City took over and Hamas is not the man to lose such an opportunity.
A pass to Marquez Valdez-Scantling - and suddenly Kansas City is ahead.
10:13 for chips.
4th quarter: 19:19
The Niners, who had been completely paralyzed since the beginning of the half, began to regain their composure.
A series of passes by Freddie moved the ball deep into the Chiefs' half of the field.
Kyle Shanahan made a bold move to go for a fourth down and a George Kittel catch left the ball in the Niners' hands.
A pass from Freddie Jennings put the Niners back in the lead -
13:16 to San Francisco
after the bonus kick was blocked.
Mahomes and Kelsey "moved the chains" and advanced in the field.
Pacheco, who has had a shocking game so far, also got involved, but the Chiefs were unable to penetrate the endzone and settled for a field goal -

5:46 minutes left on the clock.
The Niners went all out for the title.
Freddie and McCaffrey managed the next drive coolly and ate time off the clock.
The Chiefs were able to stop them, but Moody made the kick from 53 yards -
16:19 for San Francisco,
1:53 minutes to go.
Mahomes and Kelsey decided they weren't losing, at least not during the game's legal time.
The two arranged for Batker to attempt an easy field goal and he did not disappoint -

19:22.
will be enough
The Chiefs needed at least one yard on fourth down.
Mahomes managed to get him and the game continued.
