#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes connected with TE Travis Kelce for a second touchdown against the #Bills in the AFC playoffs.

The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t waste any time getting out to a third-quarter lead against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night.

After receiving the second-half kickoff, Patrick Mahomes drove Kansas City’s offense down the field quickly, setting the Chiefs up with great field position after a gritty run picked up 24 yards to set his team up in the red zone.

A completion to Isiah Pacheco got Kansas City to the three-yard line, and a fast-developing screen pass to star tight end Travis Kelce got the Chiefs into the end zone to take the lead.

This pivotal play could prove to be the difference in this hotly contested matchup, which has seen several lead changes through two quarters and change.

Mahomes’ connection with Kelce may have been contained late in the regular season, but with plenty of time remaining in this game, the All-Pro duo may have even more fireworks in store for fans at Highmark Stadium.

Check out these highlights from the #Chiefs’ Wild Card win over the #Dolphins on Saturday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs will advance to the Divisional round of the AFC playoffs after defeating the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night at Arrowhead Stadium.

As defending Super Bowl champions, Kansas City faced high expectations this season, and while they haven’t always looked the part of a contender this season, their performance against Miami was an absolute masterclass.

The Chiefs’ exceptional offensive performance and outright defensive dominance kept the Dolphins playing from behind. At the end of the game, Kansas City won by a 19-point margin, posting a 26-7 final score.

Playoff wins used to be a rarity for the Chiefs, but with momentum on its side, it seems that Kansas City finds ways to win in big moments.

There were plenty of highlights on both sides of the ball for the Chiefs, and the team posted some great videos of Kansas City’s best plays during the game that gave fans a glimpse of their triumphant showing.

Check out some of the Chiefs’ top plays below:

#Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco scored this clutch touchdown in the fourth quarter against the #Dolphins on Saturday night.

The Kansas City Chiefs got out to a 19-point lead against the Miami Dolphins in the Wild Card round of the playoffs after second-year running back Isiah Pacheco scampered for a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown.

Pacheco has been one of Kansas City’s most consistent players in the game and has provided the Chiefs’ offense a much-needed spark in the frigid conditions at Arrowhead Stadium.

Head coach Andy Reid called his name near the goal line late in the fourth quarter of the AFC heavyweight matchup, and Pacheco answered the call with a gritty run that added six points to Kansas City’s lead.

Check out his gritty touchdown run here:

This game has been defined by the Chiefs’ resilience in the sub-zero temperatures, and this run may prove to be all the reigning Super Bowl champions needed to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

Fans should stay tuned to see if Kansas City can close out the game.

WATCH: Chiefs DB Mike Edwards intercepts Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa

#Chiefs DB Mike Edwards intercepted #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa to give Kansas City possession with a chance to take a two-score lead.

The Kansas City Chiefs have found their stride against the Miami Dolphins after defensive back Mike Edwards intercepted quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in the first quarter of the Wild Card round of the AFC playoffs.

Edwards’ exceptional effort on the play gave reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes great field position to lead a scoring drive that could give the Chiefs a two-score lead.

Check out the veteran defensive back’s game-changing play:

Plays like this could prove to be the difference between a win or loss for Kansas City in this game, and with both sides of the ball off to a great start, Chiefs fans should feel cautiously optimistic about the team’s chances of advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs.

If Andy Reid can keep Kansas City in rhythm and the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium continues being a pest for Tagovailoa when Miami’s offense is on the field, momentum could continue to stay in the Chiefs’ favor.

WATCH: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes hits WR Rashee Rice for TD vs. Dolphins

The Kansas City Chiefs didn’t waste any time getting on the scoreboard against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday night. Patrick Mahomes drove Kansas City’s offense downfield after the Chiefs received the opening kickoff, and found the end zone when the reigning MVP hit rookie receiver Rashee Rice near the goal line.

Check out Mahomes’ exceptional touchdown pass that gave Kansas City an early advantage over Miami in the first quarter:

Kicker Harrison Butker successfully converted his point after try to push the Chiefs’ lead to seven points.

This game is being played in absolutely brutal weather, and points could be hard to come by as players fight the sub-zero temperatures at Arrowhead Stadium.

The clutch connection between Mahomes and his first-year contemporary constituted Rice’s first-career touchdown in the playoffs and came after running back Isiah Pacheco put together a magnificent effort for the Chiefs on the ground.

Expect the Chiefs to lean on Rice and Pacheco in key situations as this game progresses.

Camera catches emotional Matthew Slater on sideline before possibly his final NFL game

Emotional Matthew Slater caught on the sidelines before Sunday’s season finale

Matthew Slater hasn’t confirmed Sunday’s game against the New York Jets will be the final one in his NFL career, but it seems more likely after seeing his emotional moment with family, teammates, coaches and even owner Robert Kraft on the sidelines before the game.

The New England Patriots longtime captain is arguably the greatest special teamer in NFL history with 10 Pro Bowls and eight All Pro awards throughout the course of his illustrious career.

Before the game, Patriots players could be seen wearing “Captain 18” hoodies out of respect for Slater, who has been with the Patriots since he was drafted out of UCLA in 2008.

If this really is the end, Slater’s elite on-field talent, along with his inspiring voice in the locker room, will be greatly missed for the Patriots. Even more than his talent, he’s a once-in-a-lifetime human being.

WATCH: Ezekiel Elliott rumbles into end zone with angry touchdown run

This was an angry touchdown run by Ezekiel Elliott

The New England Patriots scored their third touchdown of Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills courtesy of Ezekiel Elliott, who rumbled into the end zone with an angry highlight reel run.

Elliott scored from six yards out at the beginning of the fourth quarter to cut the Bills’ lead to 27-21 following the extra point.

The touchdown itself was set up by a 30-yard catch from wide receiver Jalen Reagor, along with a 17-yard snag by Demario Douglas. Elliott took care of the rest, as he followed the right guard from eight yards out for the touchdown. It was Elliott’s third touchdown of the season.

He has taken on a bigger role in the running game with Rhamondre Stevenson out. Sunday was just one of the many games he’s showed up for the challenge.

The Patriots didn’t come away with the win, but Elliott’s performance was a positive for the team. He continues to prove that he still has plenty of gas left in his veteran legs.
