The Kansas City Chiefs are one of the most popular teams in sports due to their success on the field and the star power of their players. Super Bowl LVIII will be their fourth appearance in the big game in five years, making them a mainstay on the NFL's biggest stage.

On Wednesday night, the Chiefs received another level of significant praise as legendary broadcaster Bob Costas appeared as a guest on CNN's "King Charles" with Gayle King and Charles Barkley to discuss the Super Bowl. Costas, who has spent many years hosting big football games, has labeled the Chiefs a title that will upset many Dallas Cowboys fans.

"I think the Chiefs, now it can safely be said, are America's team," Costas explained. "The Dallas Cowboys have had that moniker for a long time, and there's still a glamour franchise, but they haven't been at the Super Bowl since the mid-90s. But now the Chiefs have been to four of the last five Super Bowls. They have the best quarterback (Patrick Mahomes) in the game, even though others are really good. He's exciting. He improvisers. He's charismatic."
The Cowboys have been known as America's Team since 1978 in an NFL Films highlight reel by narrator John Facenda. The moniker has been synonymous with the franchise ever since, but according to Costas, it's time to give the Chiefs that label moving forward.

"Andy Reid's been around a long time and went to the Super Bowl with Philadelphia and now with the Chiefs," Costas said. "They've got Travis Kelce and his romance with Taylor Swift, and it's a big deal, to begin with. And now it blows up bigger. Plus, the State Farm commercials. Yes, you don't have to know a screen pass from a field goal to know something about the Kansas City Chiefs. So they're America's team."
