Kansas City Chiefs win AFC final, to play Philadelphia Eagles in third straight Super Bowl
Kansas franchise will make fifth trip to NFL decider in six years, could become first team to hoist Vince Lombardi Trophy three years in a row
The Chiefs will make their fifth trip to the NFL title decider in six years and could become the first team to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy three years in a row if they beat the Eagles, who thrashed Washington in the NFC Championship game.
The Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9 will be a rematch of the NFL Championship game in 2023, when the Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35.
The Bills have not won a road playoff game since 1993 and while they staged an inspired second-half fightback, they eventually buckled under the deafening roar of the Kansas City fans at Arrowhead Stadium in the final moments.
“I’m just so proud of my teammates and how they responded,” Mahomes said. “I’m just at a loss for words – excited for New Orleans.”
Buffalo trailed 21-16 at the half but came alive in the third quarter after running back James Cook made a flying leap into the end zone on fourth and goal, stretching his arm to get the ball over the line.
