There’s a familiar feeling about the Kansas City Chiefs holding up the Lamar Hunt trophy on a Sunday afternoon in late January, clinching the AFC Championship and celebrating a spot in the Super Bowl. With the 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens, it happened for the fourth time in five seasons Sunday.
The difference was the celebration being held on a field other than the grass of Arrowhead Stadium, which represents the difficulties this group played through to get there. No previous Chiefs team went on the road, let alone won two games away from home in a postseason.
