The Kansas City Chiefs’ run of dominance in the AFC West is the stuff of legend, and with their win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17, the team has officially won its eighth-straight division title.
In a season where the reigning Super Bowl champions have looked more like pretenders than contenders, the remarkable streak’s continuation is a good sign for Kansas City’s future.
The Chiefs’ ticket to the playoffs is officially punched heading into the final week of the regular season, and with the momentum built from their win over Cincinnati, the team may be able to parlay their victory into a hot streak just in time for the postseason.
Kansas City’s outstanding accomplishment on New Year’s Eve seemed to take the edge off for fans on social media who have been frustrated by the Chiefs’ losses in recent weeks.
Check out some of Twitter’s top reactions to Kansas City’s historic win over the Bengals:
I don’t like waiting until week 17…but considering this year I’ll take it! https://t.co/1OjtzWdrnH

I was like 2 or 3 years out of high school the last time the chiefs didn’t win the AFC West. That’s actually kind of crazy to think about. https://t.co/sYUusdIZbU

Been a harder year than expected but winning the AFC West 8 straight years is an insane stat. Chiefs will not be fun for anyone in the playoffs. #ChiefsKingdom https://t.co/NBmduBWUxv
