The Kansas City Chiefs just earned their sixth-consecutive trip to the AFC Championship game and haven't missed out on the NFL’s version of the semifinals for as long as Jayson Tatum has been taking the parquet for the Celtics. It’s kind of wild.
The two franchises have been on nearly identical paths since the fall of 2017. Both have had great sustained success, had some great rivals, and have some of the biggest homegrown stars in their respective leagues suiting up for them in each game.
Of course, there is one major difference between the two (well two, considering they’re playing completely different sports).
