KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are ready to host their record fourth consecutive AFC championship game.

As for the Bengals, who visit Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday with a Super Bowl berth on the line, this will be a whole new experience. Only a couple of special teams players were even alive the last time Cincinnati played in a conference championship game.

Both teams are coming off dramatic wins in the divisional round. The Bengals needed a last-second kick from rookie Evan McPherson to beat the top-seeded Titans on the road. The Chiefs rallied to beat the Bills in overtime in yet another playoff classic.
