If you're from Kansas City, to know the Chiefs is to love the Chiefs.
Such is the case for Sporting Kansas City captain and defender Matt Besler, a native of Overland Park who has grown up as a Chiefs diehard.
As the city's NFL team plays for its first Super Bowl title in 50 years on Sunday, Besler was among the several local sports stars, celebrities, entertainers and politicians who reflected on their love for the Chiefs in a Kansas City Star feature story.
“Watching the win against Houston as an athlete, with seven of my teammates, I couldn’t help but notice two things in particular about this special Chiefs team," Besler said in the article.
