Chiefs’ L’Jarius Sneed Fought Through Tears During Postgame interview After Reaching Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl bound once again, punching their ticket to Las Vegas for their fourth championship appearance in the past five years after taking down the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship on Sunday.

After the game, star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was overcome with emotion. He fought through tears during his postgame interview with Fox Sports’ Kristina Pink, who asked him what the moment meant to him.

“Just joy, you know? Just thankful,” said a teary-eyed Sneed. “What this team faced this whole entire year, the adversity we faced. I’m just thankful, man. Going back to the Super Bowl again.”

Sneed, of course, was a key cog in Kansas City’s Super Bowl winning setup last season, during which he started all 17 games for the team and was second on the defense with 108 tackles.

He made his presence felt during the game against Baltimore, coming up with one of the biggest defensive plays of the game when he forced Ravens receiver Zay Flowers to fumble in the end zone on what would’ve been a touchdown.

With the opportunity for another Super Bowl ring looming, Sneed wasn’t able to hide his emotion while soaking in the moment Sunday evening.
