Like every other Chiefs devotee, Clark Hunt was crushed by the Chiefs’ loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship.
His team was this close — perhaps an offsides call or a coin toss away — from bringing home, for the first time in nearly 50 years, the trophy named for his father.
Instead, the Patriots used overtime to delay that dream for at least another year.
“Obviously the loss in the AFC Championship game was heartbreaking for all of us, particularly given how close we were,” Hunt, the team’s CEO and owner, told the Star on Friday.
