Kansas City Chiefs' $40,000 Super Bowl rings feature typo

When the Kansas City Chiefs shelled out $40,000 each for Super Bowl rings, a key detail of the team's title run slipped someone's mind.
The rings, which were unveiled and distributed to the team in a ceremony on Thursday night, feature a band that inside lists the scores of the postseason games that comprised the team's march to its third Super Bowl win in the past five seasons. The rings also have the arrowhead logo and four Vince Lombardi Trophies, with 529 total diamonds – including 19 baguette diamonds to signify Kansas City becoming the first NFL team to repeat as champions in 19 years.
The reverse side of the ring top shows a diagram of the “Tom & Jerry” play. In overtime, Patrick Mahomes threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman, sealing the 25-22 overtime victory.
The ring also listed the seed of each opponent.
In the wild-card round, the Chiefs played the Miami Dolphins. To commemorate that 26-7 victory, the ring read, "MIA [7]" as in the AFC's seventh seed.

But the Dolphins' 11–6 regular season record earned them the No. 6 seed, as the Chiefs were the No. 3 seed after winning the AFC West for the eighth straight year.
The error was first noticed by several fans when the team released photos of the full design on Thursday night. The Chiefs have not responded to USA TODAY Sports' request for comment, but the team confirmed to The Athletic that the mistake does appear on the rings.
