A dance between two of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, always brings about fireworks.
During the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Jan. 26, the Lamar Hunt Trophy returned to Kansas City once more, sending the Chiefs to the Super Bowl for a third straight time.
Mahomes and Kansas City are now 4-0 in the postseason against Josh Allen and the Bills, a sure testament to their greatness considering just how hard that is to accomplish.
After a series of drives between the two teams, a 35-yard Harrison Butker field goal put the Chiefs in the lead with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Allen threw incomplete on a broken 4th-and-5 play on the Bills’ next drive, and Buffalo never got the ball back.
A first down completion to Chiefs running back Samaje Perine sealed the deal for Kansas City, as they would then drain the rest of the clock away.
Kansas City are the first team in NFL history to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls, and have an opportunity to three-peat, which would undeniably cement their legacy as an NFL supergiant and certainly bat eyelashes at Patrick Mahomes’ greatest of all time argument.
In their next game, they’ll face a familiar opponent: The Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles advanced to the Super Bowl with a resounding 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game.
Philadelphia and Kansas City faced off two years ago in Super Bowl LVII, where they took down quarterback Jalen Hurts in an instant thriller.
What Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid are doing in Kansas City is uncanny. They are trekking into uncharted territory, and the world is waiting to see just how much history they can make.
Super Bowl LIX will be played on Feb. 9.
