LET’S HEAR YOUR STORY
The Kansas City Chiefs are once again Super Bowl champions, meaning that elaborate hardware — and further celebration — awaited the victors.
The wait was over Thursday night. Players and coaches received their rings in a swanky ceremony in Kansas City, four months after they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. The rings were worth the wait. As is custom with contemporary championship hardware, the rings were laden in precious stones and contained a hidden compartment.
The Chiefs offered a look at the rings on social media — but not until after the Chiefs got a look first. Here they are, complete with a golden replica of Arrowhead Stadium and a quote from late franchise founder Lamar Hunt underneath a retractable lid.
"Arrowhead Stadium is my favorite place on Earth," an inscription reads.
The highlights include a ring of 38 diamonds representing their 38-35 win over the Eagles, another ring of 54 diamonds representing the combined deficit overcome in their last two Super Bowl wins and 16 rubies reading “KC” representing the franchise’s 16 division championships. And of course, three diamond replicas of the Lombardi Trophy represent the franchise's three Super Bowl victories.
In short, it's a lot of jewels: 629 diamonds and 35 rubies in each ring to be exact, weighing a total of 16.1 carats.
Everyone seems pleased.
The rings are the second each for Reid, Mahomes and Kelce. With all three back in Kansas City next season, they'll have a better shot than most at adding a third.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
