The NFL postseason is in full swing. This weekend it came down to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, and Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers vs. Matt Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship matchup.
There was, however, an unexpected addition on the field while the Bengals and the Chiefs battled for a spot in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, February 13, 2022.
Football and Marvel fans on Twitter noticed that the Chiefs’ mascot was wearing a strange outfit in the endzone. Jon Chang wrote:
@UniWatch Is this the KC chiefs mascot dressed as Spider-Man or is it Spider-Ham (aka Peter Porker) and why would either be at the game?

KC Wolf may be big with his 85 inch hips, but bad, not a chance. Everyone loves this wolf, including Little Red Riding Hood. Since his introduction to Chiefs fans in 1989, KC Wolf has quickly become one of the most entertaining mascots in professional sports.
Whether he’s dancing, imitating Elvis, or performing one of his hilarious routines, audiences everywhere are guaranteed lots of laughs and smiles. KC Wolf brings energy and enthusiasm to sports competitions, charity events, parties, conventions, or any event that brings people together for fun and excitement. KC Wolf has entertained fans of all ages with appearances at football stadiums and major and minor league ballparks throughout the United States and around the world. From Japan to Germany, Mexico to Missouri, KC Wolf has become a popular attraction year after year at sporting events, community activities, conventions, grand openings, parades, and numerous other events.
