Jamaica has another Super Bowl championship.

Safety Patrick Chung helped the New England Patriots win their fourth Super Bowl championship, defeating the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24.

Chung, the son of noted reggae artist Sophia George-Chung, had two tackles in the game.

A native of Kingston, Chung is the latest member of a now-growing list of Jamaicans to win Super Bowls in the National Football League.

Chung is actually the second New England Patriot to win a Super Bowl, following Rohan Davey, who won two Super Bowls with the Patriots in the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

The most recent Jamaican to win a Super Bowl before Chung was then-Baltimore Ravens defensive end Ryan McBean, who took home a ring in 2012.
