In the final, which will be played in Las Vegas on February 11, Kansas will face San Francisco, which beat Detroit 34-31. The two teams met in the 2020 Super Bowl, a game Kansas won after rallying from a 24-7 halftime deficit.
Kansas, which is the reigning champion and has now reached the Super Bowl in four of the last five years, put up a solid defensive effort that put a damper on pre-favorite Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson.
At the same time, Kansas' counterpart Patrick Mahomes stood for a neat offensive effort and was noted, among other things, for a long pass.
- It's been an incredible year, we've been underdogs in the last few games, but we've never felt like underdogs, Mahomes said after the game.
Kelce also made a strong effort and celebrated afterwards with girlfriend Taylor Swift on the field.
Swift has repeatedly been seen cheering in the stands at Kansas games. Now the question is how it will be at the Super Bowl. The 34-year-old from West Reading in Pennsylvania is on a world tour - and will play in Tokyo the night before the final meeting in Las Vegas.
