Standing alongside the team, US President Joe Biden praised the Chiefs after another triumphant campaign.
“Back to back, I like that,” Biden joked.
“If the doubters are wondering if you can do it again – believe me, I know what that feels like,” the president said. “I don’t think anyone doubts you now.”

Biden also tried on a Chiefs helmet he had been given, prompting cheers and applause from the crowd. After the president concluded his remarks, he passed the microphone to Kelce, who jokingly tried to give a speech during last year’s visit.
“It’s nice to see you all again,” Kelce said. “I’m not going to lie, President Biden. They told me if I came here I would get a bag, so I’m going back to my spot.”
After clinching their third title in five years, the Chiefs will look to achieve a new feat this season: a threepeat. The champions open their 2024 campaign on September 5 on the road against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of the AFC Championship game.
