Chiefs Edge Bengals, Punch Ticket to Super Bowl LVII

 

The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to their third Super Bowl in the Patrick Mahomes era, after defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the AFC Championship game.

 

The defense for Kansas City was the talking point in this way, sacking Joe Burrow five times, as well as having a pair of interceptions. Chris Jones ended with a pair of sacks as the Chiefs defensive line was dominant all night long.

 

Travis Kelce had seven catches and a touchdown, and Marques Valdez-Scantling was huge for the Chiefs, stepping up in the absence of Kadarius Toney, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Mecole Hardman to collect six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown.

 

Mahomes was efficient despite playing on a serious ankle injury, completing 29 passes for 326 yards. Mahomes also was able to scramble for a first down on the last play of regulation, and set up the game winning 45 yard field goal from Harrison Butker.

 

The Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII in two weeks, and will look to bring the third Super Bowl championship back to Chiefs Kingdom. The Eagles open the game as two point favorites.
