This Super Bowl celebration was 50 years in the making and epic enough to be picked up on weather radar.
The Kansas City Chiefs became Super Bowl champions for the second time in franchise history and the first time in 50 years in a 31-20 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, 24, became the youngest player to win a Super Bowl MVP after throwing two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to help Kansas City overcome a 10-point deficit.
