The Kansas City Chiefs are getting ready to compete on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game for the sixth straight year. When the NFL’s AFC-NFC era began in 1970, that is the second-longest streak in history.
“Over time, I believe the Chiefs to be the Alabama of professional football,” Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey stated. They may think, “Oh, they’re not looking that good,” year in and year out. They are not like this. They remain as “that” team. They remain the squad to defeat. The Chiefs are still the team to beat, regardless of whether they are winning or losing. They’re Super Bowl champs, and for us to beat them, it’s going to take everybody firing on all cylinders.”
The Chiefs’ record of eight straight conference titles is second only to the New England Patriots’ eight-year run in the AFC title game from 2011 to 2018. The Oakland Raiders, who participated in the AFC Championship Game every year from 1973 to 1977, are being surpassed by Kansas City to hold the record for the second-longest streak.
