Moreover, the Kansas Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu has a lucky charm in his locker: a Mexican soccer team’s jersey .

On November 18, 2019 , Honey Badger visited Mexico with the Kansas Chiefs for a match against the Los Angeles Chargers at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, the second Monday Night game held in the country.

At a news conference in Mexico , the Chiefs safety wore a Mexican soccer team jersey and said “I’m proud of putting this shirt on. I received it after the game from someone. I feel like this was a great trip for us as a team, to come out here, experiment with a new culture , experiment with new fans .”

Since then, Mathieu , who will play his first big game, has asserted the jersey has been in his locker for he believes it has brought him good luck; he says his team has not lost a game since he has the jersey and so he plans to keep it.

This will not be the only Mexican presence at the Super Bowl LIV , for Los Tigres del Norte will be featured at the beginning of Fox Sport’s broadcast of the game with a music video of the Mexican band celebrating their legacy and the love of Hispanics for football.
