Obviously this win means a lot to me, but I thought it would be interesting to see who else has been waiting a long time for this one. I can't do the entire roster, just some highlights.
Marcus Peters, CB, 1st year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Chris Conley, CB, 1st year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Cairo Santos, K, 3rd year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Spencer Ware, RB, 3rd year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Charcandrick West, RB, 3rd year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Travis Kelce, TE, 4th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Knile Davis, RB, 4th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Eric Fisher, LT, 4th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Dontari Poe, NT, 5th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Justin Houston, LB, 6th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Josh Mauga, LB, 7th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Eric Berry, FS, 7th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Sean Smith, CB, 8th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Jeremy Maclin, WR, 8th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Jamaal Charles, RB, 9th year in the NFL, on IR :(
Tamba Hali, LB, 11th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Derrick Johnson, LB, 12th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Dustin Colquitt, P, 12th year in the NFL, 1st playoff win
Alex Smith, QB, 12th year in the NFL, 2nd playoff win
Andy Reid, HC, 17th year as HC in the NFL, 11th playoff win
I'm honestly surprised that I couldn't find more Chiefs with playoff wins. Maclin had played in two losses before on the Eagles. Smith played for the Dolphins but never made it to the postseason. But most of these players have spent their whole careers with the Chiefs and this was their first taste of postseason victory. Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson were the inspirations for the post.
