And the prize for winning the AFC Championship is the Lamar Hunt Trophy, named after the founder of the AFL, but also the founder and owner of the Chiefs. The only problem? As of January 1, 2020 the Chiefs had exactly zero Lamar Hunt trophies to speak of.
I mean the Chargers and Titans had one. The Ravens had two and they've only existed since 1996.
But thanks to a certain someone, the Chiefs have fixed the problem.
Here are the current standings for AFC Championships since 1970:
Patriots: 11
Steelers, Broncos: 8
Dolphins: 5
Chiefs, Raiders, Bills: 4
Colts, Bengals: 3
Ravens: 2
Titans, Chargers: 1
Jets, Browns, Jags, Texans: 0
So yeah, Tom Brady's contributions are gonna help the Patriots be at the top. He won 9 AFC Titles in 19 seasons in New England. Mahomes has won 4 in 6 seasons.
Today, the Chiefs won their 4th Lamar Hunt trophy while wearing a patch honoring the life of Norma Hunt, Lamar's widow who herself passed away in June 2023. And in the process, kept the Lamar Hunt trophy out of the hands of a different Lamar.
