In the AFC championship game against the Bills, KC Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shined as bright as ever and sent the football world a reminder in the process.
The Chiefs are AFC champions again it would be foolish to presume that Mahomes won’t find a way to seize another Lombardi Trophy.
We’ve never seen this version of Patrick Mahomes before. Here’s why it was unleashed in the Chiefs’ win over the Bills.
The Chiefs notched one milestone on Sunday night when they became the first back-to-back Super Bowl champions to advance to the game for the third straight year and they’ll try for an even bigger place in the record books in New Orleans.
Only a fool would bet against the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Chiefs and their star signal-caller who is now 23–1 in his past 24 games.
During Sunday’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City, Mahomes gave the Chiefs the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 10-yard touchdown run. Mahomes had to evade Bills tacklers and follow the blocking of Travis Kelce. So yeah, he was fired up. So fired up, though, that he completely lost grip on the touchdown spike.
After a questionable turnover on downs late in the game, the Chiefs drew up a perfect play for Mahomes in which the Kansas City quarterback took it himself into the end zone—with some impressive blocking help from Travis Kelce—for a 10-yard rushing touchdown, giving his team a 29-22 lead.
The Chiefs outlasted the Bills in another postseason thriller to become the first team to reach five Super Bowls in six seasons.
Josh Allen is in a familiar position, and it's not one he hoped to be in coming into Sunday's AFC Championship. The Buffalo Bills quarterback dropped to 0-4 in his playoff career against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs as his hopes of reaching the Super Bowl have once again come up just short with a 32-29 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium.
Mahomes and the Chiefs took charge in the final moments for a 32-29 victory over the Bills in the AFC championship game.
