The Kansas City Chiefs are the AFC West Champions. The last time that happened was 2003.
This year was the greatest one-year turnaround in franchise history. They reached it by having the 3rd best first half in franchise history.
Here were their possessions in the first half against the Titans.

Pick Six on defense
31 points in 30 minutes--game over.
Cassel goes for 314 yards and 3 scores just weeks after his surgery.
Charles scores twice on passes. Bowe goes 6 for 153 with a 75-yard score.
Eric Berry scores his first NFL touchdown.
Limit the Titans to 3/12 on 3rd down. Chris Johnson under 60 yards.
The Chiefs came in and kicked ass. And thanks to the Chargers bumbling on the road, that's the division.
The Chiefs will host a playoff game. Again, first time since 2003. Am I awake?

#3: Dwayne Bowe
The Chiefs were already up 17-0 but facing a 3rd and 19 from their own 25. Most teams including KC usually, dial up a draw play or something to get about 10 yards. Cassel goes deep to Bowe who cuts through the entire Tennessee defense, taking it 75 yards to the house. 24-0 and it's over. PUT IT ON THE BOARD!
#2: Jamaal Charles
There's a secret in the Kansas City rushing attack. They're billed as a two-headed monster. Thunder and lightning, smash and dash. But Thomas Jones has lost what he had early in the season.
Jones is averaging 3.7 yards a carry. Charles is at 6.4.
The vaunted running game is really just Charles. He makes this team go and he made big plays to get the Chiefs up 14-0 early.
#1: Matt Cassel
Cassel came to kick ass today. He started something like 10/11 and was on fire stretching the field. And now he gets to play in the playoffs for the first time. Actually, first time for Bowe and Charles as well. Let's hope they show up like this.
