Patrick Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to a dramatic win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game to set up a meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
In a pulsating contest, Mahomes overcame adversity in his ankle injury to lead the Chiefs past the Bengals with a 23-20 win at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes entered the game without a win in three meetings with Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow, but the MVP frontrunner ensured he ended the streak by leading the Chiefs on a final drive that culminated in a Harrison Butker field goal to win with three seconds remaining.
Mahomes threw for 326 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Chiefs to the Super Bowl as he eyes a second ring of his already remarkable career. The 27-year-old has led Kansas City to five successive home AFC Championship Games and has now converted three of them into trips to the Super Bowl.
