“Wheel of Fortune” fans in Kansas City got a nice surprise on Wednesday evening.

One of the puzzles during the episode had this answer: “Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl!”

KC fans couldn’t have been unhappy for the reminder that the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII in February. Viewers in Philadelphia may have had a different reaction, but that’s to be expected.

Some people on Twitter took note of the Chiefs getting love on the game show.

This is the second time in three years the Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship has ended up as a puzzle answer on a “Wheel of Fortune” show.

After the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV, the puzzle answer was slightly different than the one Wednesday.
