- Kansas City are heading to their third straight Super Bowl
- Patrick Mahomes and co. once again overcame the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs
- There was a very mixed reaction online to the Chiefs continued success
The Kansas City Chiefs have done it again. And now they’re standing on the verge of history. They are one game away from becoming the first team to win the Super Bowl three times in a row.
Andy Reid’s men once again overcame an excellent Buffalo Bills team in the AFC Championship game, edging out Josh Allen and co 32-29 in a pulsating, all-timer of a game that went right down to the wire.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes further cemented his legacy with another mind blowing performance, combining for 288 total yards and three scores, which included two on the ground. But heading into the fourth quarter, the Chiefs were trailing 22-21 before eventually edging ahead 32-29, halting Allen on the 40-yard line and turning the game in their favour.
The Chiefs will now aim to complete a historic three-peat on Sunday February 9 at the Superdome in New Orleans when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles, who handily defeated the Washington Commanders 55-23 at the Linc, earlier in the afternoon.
Naturally, social media was abuzz throughout the night, with NFL fans reacting wildly to almost every single play of another titanic playoffs encounter between the Chiefs and the Bills.

Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, CJ Stroud all are incredible but have to face Pat Mahomes and the Chiefs every single year.

Josh Allen made an absolutely incredible throw that would have put the Bills in FG range and the narrative all offseason is gonna be about how HE can’t beat the Chiefs.

Brutal.

Nate Burleson to NFL fans: "Resist the urge to fall for the narrative that we're tired of seeing [the Chiefs] win, that we might be fatigued of watching KC go to the Super Bowl… You are witnessing greatness. And just be happy that you are alive to be there to see it." 🏈🎙️ pic.twitter.com/eLYZmce6U5

This year’s Super Bowl will be a rematch of Super Bowl LVII in 2023, where the Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35 at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Can Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley write a new chapter in Eagles history and prevent Mahomes, Kelce and co. from making their own? We cannot wait to find out. February 9 cannot come soon enough.
