Chiefs 2020 AFC Championship Highlights

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The last time the Kansas City Chiefs played in the Super Bowl, in 1970, Andy Reid was 11 and Patrick Mahomes was 25 years from being born.

The Chiefs will finally return to the Super Bowl, 50 years after beating the Minnesota Vikings for their only NFL championship. This time, they will be coached by Reid and quarterbacked by Mahomes after their 35-24 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.

Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt hoisted the Lamar Hunt Trophy, given annually to the AFC champions. The trophy is named for his late father, who founded the Chiefs.

The Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship in 1970 came when they were members of the old AFL, which was in its final season. This is the Chiefs’ first AFC championship and thus the first time they’ve won the trophy bearing their founder’s name.
