Kansas City edged the Cincinnati Bengals, 23-20, on kicker Harrison Butker’s 45-yard game winning field goal with :08 remaining.

Kansas City returns to the Super Bowl for the third time in the past four seasons. The Chiefs last appearance, Super Bowl LV in Tampa, saw the hometown Buccaneers defeat KC, 31-9. Kansas City won Super Bowl LIV in February 2020 defeating San Francisco, 31-20.
