As most of you are probably aware the Chiefs will play, tomorrow, in their sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game. This year’s team, however, is a little bit different in that for most of that span, it was considered something of a disappointment if the team didn’t reach the Super Bowl. This year’s team, on the other hand, wasn’t truly expected to make it this far.
For five straight seasons, the Chiefs were either the number one or two seed, entering the playoffs. This means you would expect (and the tournament was set up to encourage) them to reach the AFC Championship Game.
