The Kansas City Chiefs take their fourth AFC title in five years.

The Kansas City Chiefs take their fourth AFC title in five years.

It seems like the Kansas City Chiefs have never been more vulnerable than they were during the regular season since Patrick Mahomes became their starting quarterback in 2018. Now they are going back to the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs scored a touchdown on their first two possessions and held on to beat the Ravens 17–10.

This is the fourth time in five years that Kansas City has made it to the Super Bowl. They will play the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas. The 49ers were made 2.5-point favorites on Sunday afternoon at ESPN BET.

The Chiefs want to be the first team since the 2004 New England Patriots to win the Super Bowl twice. They beat the Eagles of Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVIII last year.

“You don’t take it for granted,” Mahomes said. Mahomes completed 30 out of 39 passes, gaining 241 yards and a touchdown. “You have no idea how many or if you’ll get to any.”

After everything we’ve been through this season, it’s really special to do it with these guys. It’s cool when guys get together.

But I told them, “The job isn’t done.” Now we have to get ready to play a good defense to the Super Bowl and try to win the ring.

On third-and-9 with over two minutes of play left, Mahomes threw a 32-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling that won the game. If the pass didn’t go through, the Ravens would have had plenty of opportunity to tie or win.

When the Ravens blitzed, Mahomes threw a perfect pass to Valdes-Scantling. After that, the Chiefs were able to end the game. “It wasn’t an easy call,” coach Reid’s wife said in a joke later.

There are only a few words. There was no blitz. We had an excellent concept or knew for sure that it would be a zipped blitz. “You never know for sure, but we felt we did, and it was. That put MVS in a great spot for completing the play.”

Travis Kelce, a tight end, caught 11 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. Jerry Rice had 151 career playoff receptions, but he broke that record during the game.

For the season, the Chiefs missed more matches than any other time Mahomes has been their starter. They had an 11-6 record.

They lost a home game to Las Vegas in Week 16 and played badly in several games. The Raiders scored both their two touchdowns on defense after the Chiefs turned the ball over on consecutively plays from scrimmage.

But Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said their defeat to the Raiders woke them up. The Chiefs went on to win their last two regular-season games as well as three more in the playoffs.

In the first half, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce played their best football, and Kansas City’s defense put on another show against Lamar Jackson and Baltimore.

With a 17-10 win in the AFC championship game on Sunday, the Chiefs made it to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years.

Kelce caught 11 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. It will be interesting to see if his girlfriend Taylor Swift can make it to the Super Bowl next month in Las Vegas while she is in the middle of her tour.

The musician was there again on Sunday, and Kelce, who is 34 years old, was at his best. “Trust me, you have to fight for the party right? “Yes, darling, we’re going to Las Vegas.”

“The Chiefs are still the Chiefs,” said Kelce, who became the first player in NFL history to catch more passes than Jerry Rice.

Having Swift on the team has made them more of a show-stopping team than they were before, but this season’s play has been more down-to-earth.

Besides Kelce, Mahomes hasn’t had the receivers who make plays for him like he did in the past.

The defense, on the other hand, was a big reason why Kansas City claimed the AFC West and then beat Buffalo and Baltimore on the road in the playoffs to win the conference.

“That was a crazy year. It’s been against the odds for us in the last few games, Mahomes said. “We never take second place.

A lot of the guys on this squad know how to win. They’ll be here to help make it happen when the playoffs come around. Now we’re in the big game. “The job is not done.”
