The Kansas City Chiefs shelled out $40,000 for each Super Bowl ring they gave to players on Thursday, but the team couldn’t fend off a major typo that seemed to bleed into their championship luster.
The jewelry was presented Thursday night in an elegant ceremony on the south lawn of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, but based on images of the ring on the Chiefs’ official website, it appeared that few, if any Some of them were caught. The error recorded.

The top, inside portion of the ring, which would push down on the wearer’s knuckle, lists scores of playoff games won by the Chiefs and the conference seed of each defeated opponent.
The first victory in the postseason, in that top line, was classified as a 26-7 victory over “MIA (7)”, that is, the Miami Dolphins who occupied the number 7 position in the AFC of the tournament, according to the official images of the ring. .
But in reality, the Dolphins were the sixth seed in the American Football Conference.
The NFL playoffs include 14 teams, seven from the AFC and seven from the NFC, four division winners and three wild cards, teams that did not win their division but had the next best records.
In each conference, the division winners are ranked 1 through 4 and the wild cards are ranked 5 through 7. The No. 1 teams get a postseason bye in the first week, while the No. 2 plays the No. 7 , No. 3 faces No. 6 and No. 4 faces No. 5.
Kansas City had the AFC’s third-best division winning record and was therefore the third seed, while Miami had the second-best wild card record, thus placing the Dolphins in sixth place.
That Kansas City-Miami, No. 3-vs.No. 6, turned out to be one of the most important contests of the playoff season due to various off-field problems.
They were the first NFL playoff games broadcast, out of market, exclusively on streaming and set a digital record through Peacock, KeynoteUSA’s streaming platform.
That game was also the fourth coldest game in NFL history and could have caused some fans to suffer amputations due to freezing temperatures and frostbite, although Taylor Swift and the Kelce family stayed safe behind glass that frigid night. .
A Chiefs representative could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.
The Chiefs won their second straight Super Bowl, defeating the NFC’s top-ranked San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in Las Vegas on February 11.
