When you’re a kid, it seems like it takes forever for Christmas Day to arrive, but that feeling fades when we reach adulthood.

For many Chiefs and Bills fans, this week has rekindled that sentiment.

Ever since those teams booked their spot in the AFC Championship Game, fans have been waiting eagerly for Sunday.

That’s when the game will be played. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. It’ll air on CBS Sports, and the network put together a pretty cool hype video for the game.

“So friends, we find ourselves at a crossroads of history,” legendary broadcaster Jim Nantz says in the video. “How does one go from all-time great to the greatest of all-time? By wearing a crown that’s never been worn before: back to back to back. But any king can fall. A rival always has their eye on the throne, and this one feels different than the rest. After years of falling short again, again and again. Will they finally break through, or will the moment break them? Will the unstoppable dynasty reign on? Or are we about to witness the fall of the kingdom?

“One thing is for certain, this AFC Championship will have its own chapter in the NFL record books. There will be a time when we look back and say, ‘How lucky were we?” It’s Goliath vs. Goliath for a spot in Super Bowl LIX.”

CBS Sports also shared a wonderful promo earlier in the week. It’s got clips from past Chiefs-Bills games and uses a Fleetwood Mac song as the backdrop. This is pretty cool, too.
