The Lamar Hunt Trophy may finally get to come home to the Chiefs

Somewhere... Lamar Hunt is smiling.

And it is not just because his Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31-13 at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, becoming the first Chiefs team to win a home game in the playoffs since 1993.

Next Sunday, the Chiefs — the team Hunt founded in 1960 as one of the original eight teams of the upstart American Football League — will play for the AFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl LIII.

Since 1984, the winner of the two NFL conference championships has also received a trophy.
