It’s been it’s been a wild ride. We’re really excited about it.”

STORYLINE:
Before the Kansas City Chiefs made it to their third-straight Super Bowl berth, one player took to coaching a puppy for a different big game.
Chiefs defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi and his girlfriend, Nani Hinton, visited The Humane Society of Greater Kansas City in October to coach Parsnip, a 4-month-old mutt, to make his debut at Puppy Bowl XXI.
When Parsnip came to the The Humane Society in August, he had a broken leg.
