The Chiefs lost to the Packers, 35-10, in the first-ever Super Bowl in 1967. It's the Chiefs' third attempt chasing Super Bowl title, having done so successfully once in 1970. "We love every minute of this, and we appreciate every minute of this, but it's not done," added Chiefs coach Andy Reid, whose last Super Bowl trip with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004 ended in a New England Patriots victory. "This trophy belongs to the best fans in the National Football League," Hunt said to the hometown crowd at Arrowhead Stadium.
The victory was made extra sweet for Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, who after the game got to hoist the Lamar Hunt Trophy - named after his father and the team's founder - which was presented to him for the AFC title. "We're not done yet," Mahomes said after the game. Mahomes, who was born a quarter century after the Chiefs' last trip to the Super Bowl, sealed the game with a fourth quarter, 60-yard pass to wide receiver Sammy Watkins. The Titans jumped to an early 17-7 lead in the first half, but Kansas City clawed their way back propelled by the play of star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 294 yards and three touchdowns. The Kansas City Chiefs knocked out the Tennessee Titans 35-24 in the AFC Championship game on Sunday to secure their first trip to the Super Bowl in 50 years. The Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV in Miami next month, after dominating the Tennessee Titans and the Green Bay Packers, respectively, in their conference championship games on Sunday.
