The Chiefs beat the Bills in the AFC championship.
The Kansas City Chiefs have defeated the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York, also known as the home of the Bills, in Sunday playoff. Irrespective of the setting, the Chiefs always find a way to beat the Bills in the playoffs.
This game became a win-win for the Chiefs when Travis Kelce scored twice, followed by a good throw from Patrick Mahomes to him during the game that was good enough to beat the Bills.
Mahomes had thrown two touchdown passes to Travis Kelce, which led the defending Super Bowl championships to win their fifth game out of their sixth straight AFC Championship game with a 27-24 win over the Bills on Sunday night.
After this, the chips will be moving forward to Baltimore to face Lamar Jackson and to the top-seeded Ravens of the conference, who secured their position for the game by beating Houston 34- 10 on Saturday.
The Chiefs, who had a 30–7 loss in the 2010 wild card round, now stand at 0–1 in the playoffs against the Ravens. Baltimore had defeated Kansas City in the second week of the 2021 season during their regular station matchup with 36-35.
When the Mahomes Chiefs were asked about their upcoming game with the Ravens, he said, “There’s no weakness there.” According to Mahomes, this game will take their best efforts in defense, offense, and special terms. He sees it as a great challenge that will bring the stadium to rock bottom, and they are very excited about the challenge.
The Chiefs are also entitled to ending the season of Bills as they have done till now in three of the past four playoffs, which includes one in the 2021 divisional rounds and the other two in the first two wins that came at home in the 2020 AFC Championship game.
While referring to the Bills coach, Sean McDermott, “All-time classic again. Anytime we play Sean’s teams, it comes right down to the end,” said Andy Reid, coach of the Chiefs.
The Chiefs scored five out of the first six positions, excluding a kneel down at halftime, after which they went ahead for a 4-yard touchdown run by Pacheco, which was 40 seconds into the fourth quarter.
The teams could not lead more than 7 points, and then the trade led five times. The outcome after the game was decided when the Buffalo kicker, Tyler, missed a potential moment to score when he tried to field a goal wide right from 44 yards, allowing the Chiefs to run out the remaining 1:47.
On the side of the Chiefs, Mahomes was left with 13 seconds to march. The Chief took 44 yards to set up but cursed a 49-yard field goal, following which Mahomes clinched the win by a touchdown pass of 9 yards to Kelce.
Travis celebrated his first touchdown catch of 22 yards by not getting engaged among the reporters and rushing toward his girlfriend, the popstar Taylor Swift, and his brother Jason.
Travis from the field was captured making a heart gesture towards his girlfriend, sitting in the suit supporting Hemsworth at the game on the opposite end of the game field. In contrast, Jason celebrated this touchdown by being shirtless and holding a can of beer.
Mahomes was at 17 of 23 for 215 yards with the two touchdown passes to Kelce; this extended the count to the 15th and 16th times that they have combined for the playoffs, which is one more than the combination of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the NFL record of the playoff touchdowns for a quarterback-receiver duo.
The outcome of the playoff game on Sunday of the AFC Championship was one of the other disappointing finishes for the Bills, who have won their 4th consecutive AFC East title and were on their six-game roll since a 20-17 win at Kansas City on December 10.
