The Kansas City Chiefs and their fans can imagine the NFL's very first Super Bowl three-peat for another week.
Coming off their bye, the Chiefs invited the Houston Texans to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for Saturday afternoon's AFC Divisional Round Game. Patrick Mahomes and business bounced the Texans out of the playoffs by a last rating of 23-14, advancing to the AFC Championship Game for the seventh straight season.
The Texans made the Chiefs work for that win, as Houston pulled to within a point of Kansas City after a goal drive in the 3rd quarter. A bit of “Mahomes Magic,” along with some hard running from Kareem Hunt, assisted the Chiefs hold on.
When it comes to who the Chiefs will deal with in the AFC Championship Game, they wait for the winner of Sunday night's highly-anticipated video game in between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens head to Western New York for that video game in a match in between 2 vibrant offenses, and 2 MVP favorites in Jackson and Bills passer Josh Allen.
Kansas City has actually dealt with both groups this year, beating the Ravens 27-20 back in the NFL's yearly Week 1 opening-night video game to begin the season. Kansas City lost to the Bills 30-21 in Week 11.
A year back, the Chiefs won in Buffalo, and after that in Baltimore, to advance to Super Bowl LVIII.
Video game upgrade: With the Bills carrying on after beating the Ravens 27-25, the Chiefs will host the Bills next Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.
