The Kansas City Chiefs met the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 AFC championship game, marking the fourth time in the last five postseasons the two teams had squared off.
Once again, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs managed to get the better of Josh Allen‘s Bills. Kansas City earned a 32-29 victory and will now head back to the Super Bowl as the team looks to continue its impressive and dynastic run.
The Chiefs are now one win away from an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat and from tying the New England Patriots for the most consecutive postseason wins in NFL history. The Patriots won 10 consecutive games from 2001-05, while the Chiefs’ victory over the Bills was their ninth straight postseason win.
