The Kansas City Chiefs punched their ticket to a sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game on Sunday with a win over the Buffalo Bills. Exceptional performances by offensive linemen Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith helped lift the defending Super Bowl champions over their bitter conference rivals.
According to the Chiefs’ official Twitter page, neither Humphrey nor Smith allowed a single pressure against Buffalo’s fierce pass rush, holding stars like Ed Oliver and Von Miller in check to help Kansas City secure the victory.

Patrick Mahomes put together a masterclass behind the Chiefs’ elite line. Without their efforts, the reigning MVP wouldn’t have been able to attack the Bills’ swarming secondary with such deadly precision.
Just one game stands between Kansas City and another Super Bowl berth. If Mahomes can rely on players like Humphrey and Smith to put on a show against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the Chiefs may have a chance to defend their championship in February.
