The Kansas City Chiefs are still celebrating their incredible Super Bowl win, and as is the custom, each player has received his Super Bowl ring, reportedly worth a cool $40,000 each. But there may be one tiny and embarrassing problem.
The 14.8-carat ring comprises 529 diamonds, 38 rubies, and one priceless typo.
Images of the inside of the ring show a little playoff statistics graphic revealing how the Chiefs rose to the top during the 2023 season, the New York Post reports.
Each team that the Chiefs beat on their way to the NFL title is included in the graphic, including the team’s first-round win over the Miami Dolphins.
However, the reports of the graphic show that the ring identifies the Dolphins as the 7th seed team, but in fact, they were the sixth.
I've only seen this one graphic so far, but... the Dolphins were definitely the 6-seed! https://t.co/kgWp2qlQZr pic.twitter.com/FWrZm0NXZ0

Fans quickly noted that the identification of Miami as the seventh seed was incorrect.
Tell me I'm wrong and that they didn't mess up the Dolphins playoff seed...

This had to have gone through multiple levels of approval including with the chiefs. Guaranteed multiple people and both organizations missed it.

How do you make that mistake?

Then, about a thousand social media jokesters insisted that the Dolphins “played like the 7th seed.”
Dolphins sure did play like a 7 seed tho

Perhaps the most crucial question, though, for Kansas City’s legion of newer fans is why wasn’t Taylor Swift mentioned on that ring.
