KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Despite the cold temperatures, Kansas City Chiefs fans showed up to Power and Light to cheer loud and proud to stay warm.
There were several mobile heaters placed around the space that many fans tried to stand by all game long.
Many decided to watch the game inside the bars and restaurants as well if they could find a space to squeeze in.
As the final whistle blew, and fans knew their Chiefs were heading back to the AFC Championship game, the trash-talking continued.
“Every season, every game, every play. We are the best team in the NFL for a reason,” said Manny Joe. “We the best team in the NFL. Chiefs, three-peat, we coming for you.”
“I’m just ready to celebrate,” said Cindy Valenzuela. “It is cold but with a win, it doesn’t matter.”
A key moment in the game was Travis Kelce’s touchdown catch in the fourth quarter that re-energized the crowd.
Fans had a strong feeling at that moment that they would host the AFC title game for the sixth time in seven years.
“We kept going, and going, and going. The fourth quarter, we had to wrap it up for you guys, for everybody,” said Joe. “We really are those guys, we them guys.”

Some fans experienced Power and Light for the first time, like Aubrey Cottrell’s friend from Nebraska. Cottrell has lived in Kansas City for about eight years and has seen the Chiefs progress on the field leading to a buzz in the city.
She said after the win on Saturday, they will be back to Power and Light for the AFC Championship game.
“This is an experience to have. As cold as it is, I can’t feel my hands,” she said. “I think that it is such a fun time to be a Chiefs fan. I feel very lucky to be a Chiefs fan in this era.”
They won’t be the only ones at Power and Light as Saturday showed the Chiefs faithful will show out, bundled up, or not like some very tough fans out there.
As they all hope another Lombardi is added to the Trophy case to end this season.
“We’re going to be the only team to do that, I have a feeling,” said Nick Albor about the team trying to three-peat. “I texted Mahomes last night.”
