  • The AFC Championship between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills isn't just a clash of NFL titans
  • it carries the spirit of Utah's storied "Holy War" rivalry between the University of Utah and BYU.

The AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens has a unique storyline involving several individuals with Utah connections, often referred to as a "Holy War" due to the religious affiliations of key figures. Andy Reid, the head coach of the Chiefs, is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), as is his former BYU teammate and current Ravens coach, John Harbaugh. Additionally, Ravens' linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who played at BYU, and Chiefs' offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, who also has ties to BYU, add to the Utah flavor. This game not only pits two of the NFL's top teams against each other but also highlights the influence of BYU and the LDS community in professional football, showcasing a battle of coaching philosophies and personal histories deeply rooted in Utah's cultural and religious landscape.
