The Kansas City Chiefs have faced a very difficult path to this Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII. Entering the playoffs with the AFC’s third seed — their lowest since the fourth seed they claimed in 2017 — the Chiefs defeated the sixth-seeded Miami Dolphins at home before beating the second-seeded Buffalo Bills and first-seeded Baltimore Ravens on the road.
And now in the NFL Championship game, Kansas City will play the NFC’s first seed: the San Francisco 49ers.
The Chiefs’ most recent opponent should have seen this coming.
