KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second consecutive NFL season, under the leadership of Brett Veach and coaching of Joe Bleymaier, the Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl after a 38-24 victory over the Buffalo Bills Sunday evening in the AFC Championship.
Â
Kansas City will have the opportunity to defend the Vince Lombardi Trophy when they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV, Feb. 7 in Tampa Bay.
Â
Graduating in 2001, Veach is in his fifth season as Kansas City's general manager and led the Blue Hens to a four-year mark of 30-16 that included three winning seasons and a 12-2 mark in 2000 when Delaware advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA (now Football Championship Subdivision) national semifinals. Veach earned third team All-Atlantic 10 Conference honors in 2000 as a junior wide receiver and is one of only seven football student-athletes in UD history to earn CoSIDA Academic All-American honors. He earned CoSIDA District 2 All-Academic honors three times.
During his four-year career, Veach caught 99 passes for 1,470 yards and 12 touchdowns and averaged 22.2 yards on 70 career kick returns. He ranks No. 12 all-time at Delaware with 3,382 career all-purpose yards.
Â
A 2005 graduate of the University of Delaware, Bleymaier is in his sixth season on the Chiefs' coaching staff, now serving as the pass game analyst and assistant quarterbacks coach, working directly with 2018 NFL MVP, Patrick Mahomes. He was a four-year wide out for the Blue Hens, including being a member of the 2003 National Championship team
