The NFL playoffs are officially underway, and for the first time in over a decade, the Kansas City Chiefs are not taking part. But surprisingly, in a postseason that doesn’t even include them, the Chiefs’ recent playoff legacy has already received a huge boost after Wild Card Weekend thanks to an old friend – the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs have just finished one of the greatest stretches in NFL history – winning three Lombardi Trophies in five years including back-to-back Super Bowls, making three consecutive Super Bowl appearances and seven straight AFC Championship games. It can be easy to take all that success for granted, to overlook the greatness of what Kansas City was achieving because the team was literally able to do it over and over and over again.
