On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts in a fairly decisive win, 31-13. It was just their second playoff win since 1993 and just their third home playoff win in franchise history.
Perhaps more notable, the win sends them into the conference championship, where they will play host for the very first time in the semifinal matchup. Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs—who have only been to the AFC Championship twice—have never actually hosted the game.
The team’s dreary history matches the Detroit Lions in a lot of ways.
