KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Repeat division titles were once an unusual occurrence for the Kansas City Chiefs, who had never won back to back championships in their first 56 seasons. But not anymore.

The Chiefs clinched their eighth straight AFC West championship by beating the Cincinnati Bengals 25-17 at Arrowhead Stadium. Their division title streak, which began in 2016, is the second longest in NFL history behind only the New England Patriots, who won the AFC East 11 consecutive seasons from 2009 through 2019.

The 10-6 Chiefs took a different path to the top of the AFC West this season.
