By Sean Facey
The Kansas City Chiefs are bringing in some star power to help hype up the fans ahead of the AFC Championship Game.
Actor and University of Kansas alum Paul Rudd has been tabbed as the man to bang the Chiefs' famous drum to rile up the crowd for the showdown with the Titans.
Actor Paul Rudd will be one of the Chiefs’ Spirit Captains for today’s AFC Championship game. Rudd will join team owner Clark Hunt as the two men on the Chiefs’ drum deck, banging on the ceremonial war drum to fire up fans before kickoff of today’s game.

Rudd and the team's owner, Clark Hunt, will be on the Chiefs' drum deck.
Considering that this is the last Chiefs home game of the season, it's a huge honor that Rudd will no doubt savor.
Hopefully the two of them can set the tone before the game even kicks off. The Tennessee Titans are heading into things with a full head of steam, and the Chiefs will need the home crowd behind them if they want to keep the Titans at bay.
