Chiefs players Nick Allegretti, Mecole Hardman prepare to welcome Super Bowl babies
Just playing in the big game is already memorable enough, but two members of the Kansas City Chiefs will have even more reason to remember this Super Bowl Sunday.
While he was busy preparing to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles, Chiefs guard Nick Allegretti learned his wife Christina went into labor and delivered healthy twin girls early Sunday morning in Chicago, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

At about the same time the Allegretti girls were arriving, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman was frantically tweeting that his girlfriend Chariah Gordon was also about ready to give birth.
"OMG HER WATER BROKE," Hardman said in a tweet posted at 3:40 a.m. MT.
There could also be another Super Bowl baby before long on the other sideline.
Eagles center Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie are expecting a baby. Kelce said they have two doctors with them at the Super Bowl in case she happens to go into labor.
