Question

Kansas City played in Super Bowl I. Who did it beat in the AFL Championship to advance to that game?

Answer

Buffalo Bills. The Bills had won the AFL title the previous year and won the league’s Eastern Division. Kansas City (the Western Division champion) beat them 31-7. The game was played in Buffalo, even though Kansas City finished with a better regular-season record (at that time, home-field advantage was rotated between the divisions in both the AFL and the NFL).
