In honor of the Kansas City Chiefs’ second straight Super Bowl victory, President Joe Biden welcomed the squad to the White House in Washington, D.C. on Friday. The Chiefs didn’t leave 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue empty-handed; they had already given Biden a personalized jersey during their visit the year before.
The 46th president was given a Chiefs helmet by head coach Andy Reid after comments from Joe Biden and team chairman Clark Hunt. There were cries for Biden to wear the helmet as he posed for photos with it, presumably from some players. The president complied.
Biden initially tried to put the helmet on while rocking sunglasses, but smartly took them off and would finally get that helmet on his head.

The Chiefs, who had previously won it all in the 2019–20 season and the previous year, were enjoying their third Super Bowl victory in five years. They only paid the White House a visit twice, though, as the COVID-19 epidemic kept them from seeing President Trump in 2020.
Biden spoke on the shooting that occurred following the Super Bowl title parade in February during the ceremony, as well as the part that numerous players and coaches played in comforting fans.
“I’m so proud of those guys that stepped up in that manner,” coach Andy Reid said afterward. “There was no panic by the players, and then they took all the little kids who were crying and kind of nursed them just a bit and helped them calm down. During chaos, that’s something.
“The whole city rallied around it, and that’s a neat thing. It didn’t matter. You put everything aside, all your beliefs and everything aside, but everybody rallied together to support the family [of victims] and that you can’t ask for more of that,” via ESPN.
Kansas City Chiefs Hoping To Make NFL History In The 2024 Season
Regardless of where their schedule has taken them, the Kansas City Chiefs have established themselves as a dynasty. The Chiefs hope to add another piece of NFL history in 2024 when they attempt to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls.
It’s understandable why the Chiefs are building toward a three-peat. Many realized after the previous season that Kansas City’s weakest point might be its receiving corps. This offseason, they would take care of that, signing Marquise Brown and selecting speed merchant Xavier Worthy in the first round of the draft.
Now, the Chiefs’ offense, which won the Super Bowl last season, has gotten better and a whole lot quicker.
