When’s the last time the Chiefs won the Super Bowl?
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to return to the Super Bowl for the third time in the past four years. Here’s when they last won the Lombardi Trophy.
Entering the 2022 season, the Kansas City Chiefs‘ path to the Super Bowl was supposed to get more difficult. They traded away star wide receiver Tyreek Hill and watched as their division rivals in the Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, and Las Vegas Raiders get better on paper. Instead, the Chiefs cruised to an AFC West title, got through the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round, and are now one win away from reaching Super Bowl 57. All they need to do is defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.
For Kansas City’s Super Bowl history, you don’t have to look to far to see when the last time they won the Lombardi Trophy.
