AFC Championship Game

Chiefs 35 Titans 24

We will start with the obvious one. The Chiefs had to beat the Titans to make it to the Super Bowl. The goal was easy: stop Derrick Henry and force Tennessee to win through the air. Achieving that goal was obviously a bit more difficult. Henry was an absolute beast for the first two weeks of the playoffs dominating the Patriots and Ravens. The Chiefs had a difficult job.

Kansas City did what it always does when it needs a big victory. They relied on Patrick Mahomes and their talented group of pass-catchers to create a nice lead — after falling behind by 10 points in the first half of course. Patrick Mahomes led the way — as usual — with three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown. That’s not a bad day for the 2018 MVP.
