With Sunday afternoon’s overwhelming, fear-inducing 36-10 thrashing of a longtime nemesis — the Pittsburgh Steelers — the Kansas City Chiefs have now collected their sixth consecutive AFC West title.
Even though the team’s previous periods of success, no Chiefs team ever approached this level of sustained accomplishment. In fact, it wasn’t until 2017 — under current head coach Andy Reid — that the team had even won back-to-back division championships.
But it’s not just the first time the Chiefs have ever done it. It’s the first time any team has dominated this division for so long.
