The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round to advance to the AFC Championship to face the Ravens.
For the first time in six years, the AFC champion will not be crowned at Arrowhead Stadium. Instead, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will head to Baltimore as they look to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LVIII.
To keep their chances of repeating as Super Bowl champions alive, they will need to pull off a road upset against Lamar Jackson and the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens. The AFC title game matchup represents the first time Mahomes and Jackson will square off in the postseason.
The Chiefs’ path back to another AFC Championship Game was not as smooth as it was in previous years. Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co. went 11-6 in the regular season, good for the AFC’s No. 3 seed. They took care of business against the Miami Dolphins in a frigid wild card victory before hitting the road and beating the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round.
The Ravens, meanwhile, steamrolled their way into their first home AFC Championship Game in franchise history. The team earned the conference’s top seed with an NFL-best 13-4 record, giving them a first-round bye. Baltimore was knotted with the Houston Texans at halftime of their divisional round contest before turning on the jets and winning 34-10.
