Chiefs owner's wife lets slip how they really got to the Super Bowl amid favoritism claims

Tavia Hunt, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, has bashed those thinking the Chiefs got to the Super Bowl of anything other than their own merit. In a long social-media post, Tavia reflected on the Chiefs road to being one win away from being the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
The Hunt family has owned the Chiefs since 1960, several years before the Super Bowl era began. The Chiefs still could not shake the favoritism claims during a 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday night. 'By God’s grace we’ve had success, but it’s not "black magic" or referee favoritism (look at the stats on this) - it’s lots of hard work, belief, and purpose,' Tavia Hunt said.
The quote comes from a much longer post about her life over the last decade being at the helm of the most consistent team in football.

A post shared by Tavia Hunt (@taviahunt). 'Overwhelmed. That’s the word that comes to mind when we reflect on the lavish grace, favor, and faithfulness of God. I’ve said it before: I don’t think God cares about football, but He cares deeply about people,' Hunt continued.
'In 2012, we were broken - winning only 2 games and facing an unimaginable tragedy. It was a humbling, desperate season, and we had nowhere to turn but to God. That brokenness brought us to total dependence on the One who holds it all. We began praying 1 Chronicles 4:10 and committing the team to the Lord. Shortly after, Clark hired Andy Reid, and God brought the Reids to Kansas City at just the right time.'.
