The Kansas City Chiefs fell behind 9-0 in their AFC championship game vs. the Buffalo Bills. Since that point, midway through the first quarter, the game has been all Chiefs.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes flipped a quick underhand toss to tight end Travis Kelce for a 2-yard touchdown, a score ending a drive that was highlighted by a 71-yard catch-and-run by Tyreek Hill.
Hill had 160 yards on eight catches after that play, and it was Mahomes’ second touchdown toss of the night.
The Bills fought back on the ensuing drive, that lasted into the start of the fourth quarter. A Josh Allen pass to Cole Beasley set up a 4th and 1 from Buffalo’s 38-yard line. A short conversion on that play later, Buffalo was in business to stay alive.
But a deflected pass ended up in the hands of Chiefs defensive back Rashad Fenton. It was Allen’s first postseason interception, and it might be the straw that broke the Bills’ back. Time is running out, and Mahomes and his army of athletic options waits on the other sideline, holding a firm grip on the Bills’ defense.
