The Kansas City Chiefs entered the playoffs after winning their ninth consecutive AFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the conference. After decisive win over the Houston Texans in the divisional round, they punched their ticket to the Super Bowl after defeating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

For Chiefs star Justin Reid, who's in the final year of his $31.5 million contract, this playoff run has been incredible both on and off the field. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, weren't the only couple on the team welcome a baby during the postseason.

Reid's girlfriend, Marissa Rand, announced the couple was expecting with a nod to how Kourtney Kardashian revealed her pregnancy at one of Travis Barker's concerts, holding up an "I'm pregnant" sign at a game in October.
