MIAMI -- When the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl IV 50 years ago, Air Force Colonel Edward Lee Hubbard was in a six-by-six foot cell in a prisoner of war (POW) camp in Vietnam, living on less than 300 calories per day. 

On July 20, 1966, Hubbard’s plane was shot down. He was seized by the Viet Cong and held in captivity for 2,420 days (six and a half years). He did not find out that his hometown team had played in Super Bowl IV – let alone won the game – until three years after it happened. 

This week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell surprised Hubbard with two tickets to Super Bowl LIV in Miami, ensuring the Chiefs fan would not miss his team playing in the Super Bowl again.&nbsp;
