T’was the Week Before Super Bowl
by Paul Pulley
T’was the week before Super Bowl
And all through the lands
Everyone was preparing
Including the bands
The Chiefs finally get there
After a half century wait
Let’s take a look back
At what changed their fate
Andy brought in new coaches
A new defense to weave
He hired Matt, Brendan and Dave
And had them all led by Steve
New players were brought in
Brett hired a few
The big guns he signed
Were Clark and Mathieu
Off season excitement
Was at a feverish pitch
Record crowds showed at camp
Pulled off with no hitch
The roster assembled
By Brett and Andy with care
A most daunting task
Accomplished by this pair
To Jacksonville for game one
For a while things seemed lost
We came home with a victory
But oh my, at what cost
Pat twisted his ankle
And the injuries begun
Tyreek hurt his shoulder
Cheetah could no longer run
Weeks two, three and four
Victories in all three
The circumstances seemed dire
Continued the injury spree
Week five was a let down
Week six was the same
So many starters injured
My oh my, what a shame
Week seven was at Denver
Things got back on track
The defense improved
The offense was back
Then the quarterback sneak
We all thought, what the heck
The ankle forgotten
The knee looked a wreck
Pat missed only two games
Matt Moore was the man
He did a great job indeed
Thought I, as a fan
Then to Tennessee we went
Mahomes did the most
So many things went wrong
The victory went to the host
Off to Mexico City
The winning streak began
Rivers last pass picked off
By good ol’ Dirty Dan
The bye week came next
Players started to feel fine
Things were coming together
This team was beginning to shine
We beat Oakland and the Pats
We simply had no cares
We defeated the Broncos
And then crushed the Bears
The final week was upon us
The Chargers next to defeat
Miami beat New England
This day double sweet
Playoffs started with a bye
Then Houston came to town
The game started poorly
The Chiefs twenty four down
The Texans had hope
But the Chiefs sealed their fate
It’s not often a team
Can score forty one straight
The Titans came next
And as hard as they tried
There was no way these Chiefs
Were going to be denied
There was never any doubt
As fans near and far
Celebrated winning the trophy
The one named for Lamar
So it’s off to Miami
For one of sports biggest games
A victory on the horizon
Forever we’ll remember their names
So friends, fellow Chiefs fans
As you go off to your beds
Let visions of Lombardi’s
Dance around in your heads.
See you at the Parade!
