Gov. Kelly wins Kansas’ first legal sports bet with Chiefs Super Bowl victory
13 February 2023
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan will be holding a “Chiefs Kingdom” sign on Monday at noon at the corner of Main and Central. It came after a friendly wager between Sullivan and Sheriff Jeff Easter last week.
Sullivan, who came to Wichita from Philadelphia, was rooting for the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. He challenged Easter to hold a “Fly Eagles Fly” sign if Philadelphia came out ahead. However, the Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35 late in the fourth quarter to win Super Bowl LVII.
The Eagles tried to let the Chiefs score a touchdown with under two minutes left so they could get the ball back, but a defensive holding call on cornerback James Bradberry on third-and-8 gave Kansas City a first down.
After Mahomes took a knee twice, Butker nailed his kick, sending thousands of red-clad Chiefs fans into a frenzy.
