Congratulations to Nick Bolton, who became the first Mizzou Football alum to score a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Bolton’s scoop-and-score helped the Kansas City Chiefs tie the game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Bolton finished with a game-high nine tackles – ultimately propelling the Chiefs to victory.

Kansas City is just down the road from Columbia. The connections between Mizzou and Chiefs football run even deeper:

• Head coach Andy Reid was the offensive line coach at Mizzou from 1989-91.
• Assistant head coach and special teams coordinator Dave Toub was an MU coach for more than a decade.
• Assistant special teams coach Andy Hill was a longtime assistant coach.
• Tight end Kendall Blanton is on the Chiefs practice squad.

This is also the third consecutive year a former Tiger has played on a Super Bowl championship team.

I applaud Bolton – and all of Chiefs Kingdom – for a historic win.
