The Kansas City Chiefs have selected their drum leader for the AFC Championship Game rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals, and it should come as no surprise that they’re sticking with a recently-adopted tradition.
Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt will serve as the drum leader when his team takes the field in pursuit of his father’s namesake trophy on Sunday. In each of the last four seasons, Hunt has now served as the drum leader for the conference championship game.
The Chiefs won the Lamar Hunt Trophy for the first time when they defeated the Tennessee Titans in 2019. They won it for the second time in 2020 against the Buffalo Bills. They’ll look to earn it for a third time with a win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Other game entertainment includes United States Navy Veteran Generald Wilson singing the national anthem. He last sang the national anthem for the Chiefs during Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Kansas City Fire Department will present the colors during the Anthem. Weather permitting, there will be a flyover conducted by four T-38s from Whiteman Air Force Base.
For the second consecutive week, Kansas City will have a halftime performance. This time they’ve tapped New York-based Rapper Fat Joe, whose known for several hits in the early 2000s including “What’s Luv” ft. Ashanti and Terror Squad’s “Lean Back.”
