Sports are made for moments like we saw today when two franchises that have dealt with heartbreak for various reasons were able to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl today.
Firstly, the Kansas City Chiefs who endured plenty of competitive teams over the last decade but just as many home playoff heartbreaks that had left a fanbase thirsty for a Super Bowl appearance until today when they beat Tennessee 35-24 in the early game. This ended a 50 year Super Bowl appearance drought.
In the late game, the San Francisco 49ers last NFC Championship was in 2013 when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons. Since their Super Bowl loss to the Ravens, they have been on a slow decline which bottomed out with a 4-12 season last year. This is a huge turnaround and this storied franchise should enjoy the night.
Here are my most anticipated days as a sports fan:
Big games in my Sports life as a sports fan

I'm 10-6 in these 14 games. I haven't had a Game 7 or Conference Title clinching game in a long time.
