Chiefs' Championship Rings Unveiled: Typo in Miami Dolphins' Seeding Sparks Controversy

The Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off their Super Bowl LVIII victory against the San Francisco 49ers, held a ceremony to distribute their championship rings on June 13, 2024. The event took place at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and was attended by players, coaches, and team personnel.

Each ring is encrusted with an impressive array of diamonds and rubies. The Chiefs' arrowhead logo on the top is made from 16 custom-cut rubies, representing their division titles. The rings also feature personalized information for each recipient such as name, position, years of Super Bowl wins, and an outline of GEHA Stadium.

However, there seems to be a discrepancy regarding the seeds of the teams they faced during their playoff run. According to multiple sources including the Chiefs' official website and various news articles, there appears to be a typo in one of the rings. The graphic on some rings lists the Miami Dolphins as having been seeded seventh instead of sixth in their matchup against Kansas City.

The Chiefs defeated both No. 1 seeds, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, during their championship run. Their first-round victory was against the Miami Dolphins who were actually seeded sixth in the AFC playoffs.

Travis Kelce, a key player for the Chiefs and a recipient of one of these rings, wore his blinged-out TK necklace to the ceremony. The event also marked Taylor Swift's 100th show on her Eras Tour as she watched from overseas in England.

Despite this typo, the Chiefs remain focused on their future and their next title contention. Patrick Mahomes, the team's quarterback and MVP of Super Bowl LVIII, has already declared his belief that they will again compete for a championship next season.

Chiefs' latest ring might have a typo

NBC Sports Mike Florio Friday, 14 June 2024 10:30
  • Unique Points
    • The graphic on the Chiefs official website lists the Dolphins as the No. 7 seed instead of No. 6 seed in their run to the Super Bowl.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (95%)
    The author makes a statement about a typo in the Chiefs' Super Bowl ring, but then goes on to speculate about the possibility of it being intentional. This is an example of selective reporting and editorializing as the author only reports details that support their theory and adds their own opinion without disclosing it as such.
    • An inner graphic showing the team's run to the Super Bowl includes the opponents and their seeds. The purpose apparently was to point out that the Chiefs took down both No. 1 seeds en route to winning the championship.
    • It might just be a typo in the graphic.
    • This one will be a little harder to rectify.
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author is making a statement about a typo in the Chiefs' Super Bowl ring. This is an example of an appeal to authority fallacy as the author is assuming that the team's official website and Arrowhead Report are reliable sources for this information. However, since it's not clear if either source actually confirmed that every ring has this typo or just the one shown in the graphic, I cannot give a score of 100. No other fallacies were found.
    • The Chiefs' new Super Bowl ring quite possibly contains a typo.
    • If so, the Chiefs undersold their first-round win.
