How much money do Chiefs players get for winning the Super Bowl?
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to make history in Super Bowl 59.
They could become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive titles, which would augment their legacy as one of the sport's great dynasties.
And augment their bank accounts as well.
As Chiefs know quite well, in addition to being able to call themselves Super Bowl champions and wear increasingly gaudy jewelry, NFL players receive a bonus check for playing in the big game, with an even bigger sum going to the winning team.
So how much money is on the line for the Chiefs this year?
