The Kansas City Chiefs received their newest Super Bowl rings on Thursday night, and the impressive jewelry may contain a mistake.
The Chiefs spared no expense for their third championship ring in five years. At an estimated cost of $40,000 each, the rings each contain 528 diamonds and 14.8 carats worth of gems. They also may have a typo where the scores of each of the opponents the Chiefs beat is inscribed.
Kansas City beat the Miami Dolphins in the opening round of the postseason last year. The Dolphins were the No. 6 seed in the AFC, but the Chiefs’ rings show them as the No. 7 seed.
Some have noted .. but the Dolphins were a 6 seed, not a 7. Hopefully, this is a graphic error and not an error on everyone's ring — although they may not care and it would be an pretty big expense to change them all. pic.twitter.com/iEgwJ3GY1Q

It is unclear if the typo was only on the graphics of the ring that were released or the actual rings themselves.
If the error was made on the ring, the Chiefs have two choices. They can either pay a ton of money to have it fixed or decide it really doesn’t matter that their first-round opponent was a 6-seed and not a 7-seed.
