Kansas City Chiefs

Report: Patrick Mahomes takes ‘big steps’ towards playing in AFC Championship vs. Buffalo Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs’ chances of making it to Super Bowl LV and repeating as champs seemingly ride on the availability of Patrick Mahomes for the AFC Championship Game.

It appears he has made some significant progress, but he still has a long way to go before he’s officially cleared to play.

Mahomes suffered a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday’s playoff game against the surprising Cleveland Browns. Backup quarterback Chad Henne replaced him and was able to allow the Chiefs to hold onto their lead and claim victory.

The Chiefs will face another surprising team, the Buffalo Bills, for a spot in the Super Bowl. The Bills boast young star quarterback Josh Allen and prolific wide receiver Stefon Diggs, which give them one of the most deadly passing attacks in the NFL.

Buffalo finished 13-3 on the regular season, but Kansas City will have home-field advantage by virtue of its 14-2 record on the season.
