After a huge 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, Patrick Mahomes proved once again why he is the natural heir of Tom Brady. They’re just two victories away of conquering a third Super Bowl in five years.
Even with all the pressure of his first playoff game on the road, Mahomes delivered another epic performance against Josh Allen. It was an almost flawless effort of 215 passing yards and two touchdowns at Highmark Stadium.
That day, the Kansas City Chiefs have put the entire NFL on alert. Then, they eliminated Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. This version led by head coach Andy Reid looks like the old glory days.
In the process, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce passed Brady and Rob Gronkowski for most postseason touchdowns (16) by a quarterback-wide receiver duo in NFL history. An amazing feat.
