With a victory on Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs will accomplish a rare feat: qualifying to appear in five consecutive conference championships.
Since the two-conference Super Bowl format began in 1970, only two teams have been this dominant over their conferences. From 1973 through 1977, the Oakland Raiders appeared in five straight AFC Championships — and the New England Patriots played in eight consecutive AFC title games from 2011 through 2018.
Standing in Kansas City’s way will be the Jacksonville Jaguars, who overcame a 27-point second-quarter deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 31-30 in the opening matchup of the AFC Wild Card round on Saturday night.
