SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Back in 2020 when the Chiefs earned a return to the Super Bowl for the first time in 50 years, chairman and CEO Clark Hunt let on that his mother, Norma, had been all but drumming her fingertips on a table anticipating the moment.
“ ‘Clark, it sure would be nice if we could play in this game while I’m still able to go,’ ” Hunt in 2020 recalled her saying a few years before.
From out of that drought, it’s become a virtual embarrassment of riches: As Norma Hunt, now 84, attends her 57th straight Super Bowl, the Chiefs on Sunday will be appearing in their third in four years — one more than in their entire previous history.
