When I was a kid I loved Tecmo Super Bowl. I would play every game of full seasons. This was in the late 80's and early 90's. I was guiding my Martyball Chiefs to consecutive Super Bowls the way the Niners had just done and the Bills were trying to do. It felt wrong...out of place to see the words "Super Bowl Champions" and "Kansas City Chiefs" next to each other. Like I was cheating somehow to create this alternate reality, this dream world. I hoped that I would get to see it for real in my life, sooner rather than later.
Well it's much later. I've gotten to see it twice, thankfully. Back to back feels unfair, like I'm cheating or something. But this isn't a dream. We aren't dreaming.
Chiefs 26
49ers 17
