The Kansas City Chiefs locked down the overall seed in the AFC when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road on Christmas Day. It was a major accomplishment, as only the first-seeded team in each conference is awarded with a bye week for the first round of the playoffs.
However, the Chiefs aren’t done doing whatever it takes to secure their third straight Super Bowl victory. Another roster addition was announced on Monday.
“Congratulations to our client, linebacker Blake Lynch, on signing a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs!” posted sports agency Elite Loyalty Sports.
