LOOK: Kansas City Chiefs Visit President Joe Biden at White House

In this story:
Because of the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers didn't result in the team making the trip up to Washington D.C. back in 2020. Now that Andy Reid's team is a champion once again, though, a thrilling Super Bowl LVII win over the Philadelphia Eagles punched Kansas City's ticket to the White House.
Arriving on Monday, the Chiefs made the trip of a lifetime just one day before a third session of organized team activities (OTAs) kicks off back in Kansas City on Tuesday. At the White House, the organization is being recognized by President Joe Biden as the NFL champs for the 2022-23 campaign in a tradition that is one of the highlights of the league offseason.
Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas is in attendance, as are Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and former Senator Claire McCaskill. Political figures, team staff, media members and many others gathered on Monday to celebrate the grandest accomplishment of this past season.
The Associated Press has a livestream set up and running on their YouTube channel, starting at 3:30 p.m. Kansas City time. The White House's official YouTube channel also has one beginning at the same time.
Below are some of the Chiefs' best moments from Monday afternoon in D.C.
