Jim Marsalis has what few do: a KC Chiefs Super Bowl championship ring

Germantown resident Jim Marsalis talks about the 1969 Super Bowl against the Minnesota Vikings during an interview at his home on Jan. 24, 2020. Marsalis will be watching this year's Super Bowl with special interest because 50 years ago he was playing cornerback on the last Kansas City Chiefs team to make the championship, and the only KC team to ever win it.
