The Kansas City Chiefs secured themselves a place in Super Bowl LVIII after a remarkably difficult playoff run that cemented their place as the top team in the AFC.
Set to face the San Francisco 49ers to defend the championship they won last season, the Chiefs seemed back to form during the Super Bowl LVIII opening night press conference on Monday.
Players were jovial, and affable, giving reporters great insight during their media availability sessions and putting their best foot forward before the most important game of the 2023 season.
Several of Kansas City’s stars were featured in video clips that made the rounds on social media channels, and others were in the spotlight on television as the media frenzy began in earnest.
The Chiefs have plenty of experience dealing with reporters on the league’s biggest stage, but as anticipation for the championship game mounted throughout the night, their excitement was palpable.
Check out some of the top Chiefs moments from the Super Bowl opening night press conference on Monday:
The Chiefs have officially entered their villain era 😈
