The Kansas City Chiefs have a proud history headlined by a Super Bowl IV triumph, but many of their fans have never seen the team play for the Lombardi Trophy.
The last time the Chiefs reached a Super Bowl was in the 1969 season when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-7 for their first and only Super Bowl title. Kansas City has one of the longest Super Bowl appearance droughts in the NFL, but it will end Sunday if they beat the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium,
Here's a look at how the Chiefs' drought compares to similar ones, including the painful existence that is the New York Jets.
A lot of Patriots players only know what it's like to play for a Super Bowl berth. Sunday's matchup will be the eighth consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance for New England, and a win Sunday would make the Patriots the third team in league history to reach the Super Bowl three or more seasons in a row.
These stats and more all make for an incredible AFC title game matchup in Kansas City.
