The Kansas City Chiefs rewrote franchise history with their Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Previously, had you asked anyone the most iconic play in franchise history, the answer would be 65 Toss Power Trap from Hank Stram and Super Bowl IV. Now, with another championship under their belt, the Chiefs have a new iconic play to go with it. That play is called 2-3 Jet Chip Wasp and it’s the play that got the comeback started for Kansas City in the Super Bowl.
It’s the fourth quarter, third-and-15 and the Chiefs remained down 10 points. With the game on the line, Patrick Mahomes asks offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy if the protection can hold up for “Wasp.”

The protection held up and Wasp was extremely successful giving the Chiefs their longest play of the day, a 44-yard reception from WR Tyreek Hill. This play has become a favorite so quickly that Hill even asked the developers for “Madden NFL 20” to put the play into the Chiefs’ playbook.
Coming soon to #Madden20…

Soon, fans throughout the NFL will have a chance to use the play that helped spark the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl victory in 50 years. Jet Chip Wasp will be coming to Madden in a future title update. Perhaps they’ll even include some of the other iconic plays from Super Bowl LIV too.
