The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game. That win means they are advancing to the Super Bowl. There, the Chiefs will play the winner of the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.

Obviously, that's great news for the Chiefs. What is wildest about the entire situation is the representation of the AFC though.

We are reaching a rare territory. The Chiefs are just the second team to be AFC Champions since 2010 that are not the New England Patriots or the Denver Broncos.

Kansas City joins the Baltimore Ravens as the only other teams.

In 2011 it was the Patriots, then the Ravens in 2012. The Broncos and Patriots then went back-and-forth for a bit. Denver made the Super Bowl in 2013, but New England went there in 2014. The Broncos were back in 2015 and the Patriots went in 2016. New England also went to the Super Bowl in 2017 and 2018.

Now the Chiefs are on their way in 2019.

Kansas City is riding high off of incredible play from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He has them poised to win a Super Bowl, and in a great position to win a lot in the future.

In fact, by 2030, we could be talking about this again. This time with the Chiefs taking over for the Patriots as the team that dominants the conference. Maybe we'll be saying that a different team broke through and got a rare AFC Championship in the middle of the dominance of Kansas City.

The Chiefs have reached rare territory in 2019. Now they are poised to make it the new normal.
