Two former Badgers part of Super-Bowl winning Chiefs

Rookie linebacker Leo Chenal and running back Melvin Gordon became the next two Badgers to be a part of a Super-Bowl winning team.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday and two Wisconsin Badgers were a part of the winning side. Rookie linebacker Leo Chenal and running back Melvin Gordon became the next two Badgers to be a part of a championship team.

Chenal had gone without a tackle through the Chiefs’ first two playoff games, but he turned it on when it matter most. He recorded a season-high six tackles while registering his second sack of the year as well. He certainly looks geared up to be a big part of the Kansas City defense moving forward after he compiled 41 tackles while playing in all 20 of the team’s contests this year.

For Gordon, his contributions were from the sideline, operating as an extra running back option on the team’s practice squad. The 29-year-old joined the team in late November after he was dropped by the Broncos and regardless of involvement, it was nice to the the Badger legend with a Lombardi in his hands.
