George Karlaftis secures back-to-back Super Bowl wins with Kansas City Chiefs

·

Greek-born George Karlaftis won his second Super Bowl in as many seasons on Sunday as a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Chiefs staged a comeback to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime, securing their third Super Bowl victory in five years on Sunday in Las Vegas. 

Karlaftis’ impact was felt throughout the Super Bowl, recovering a Christian McCaffrey fumble to end San Francisco’s first drive.

Karlaftis had five tackles, including half a sack in the Chiefs’ overtime victory over the 49ers at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday night.

Karlaftis made his Super Bowl debut last year, helping the Chiefs secure victory over the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35.
