The Kansas City Chiefs had every reason to celebrate out in the desert Sunday night.
Kansas City hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Glendale, Arizona's State Farm Stadium after beating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII. Led by two-time NFL and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs mounted an epic fourth-quarter comeback to earn their second Super Bowl ring in a four-year span.
And they partied accordingly.

Players enjoyed themselves with deserved reckless abandon once they got back to the locker room, popping bottles of bubbly and puffing on cigars as they embraced one another and blasted music.
That's when punter Tommy Townsend got creative. With a bottle of champagne in hand, the long-haired 26-year-old lifted not-so-shiny Super Bowl hardware into the air and tilted his head back just under the bottom of the trophy.
Then he poured some of his beverage down the base and opened wide, creating what is perhaps the most hard-earned champagne luge on the planet.
Inspired by Townsend's innovation, other players and staffers took turns guzzling bubbly off the most recognizable prize in American sports. And wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster captured it all on his Instagram Live.
