Patrick Mahomes had a lot to celebrate after the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills 27-24. In addition to the victory, Mahomes, who is 28 years old, became the quarterback with the most playoff wins before the age of 30, surpassing Tom Brady. Mahomes now has 13 playoff wins compared to Brady’s 12.
The news of Mahomes’ record-breaking achievement was shared by StatMuse. The game between the Chiefs and the Bills was highly anticipated, as it was their first meeting since a controversial regular season match-up in December 2023.
Unfortunately for the Chiefs, a touchdown scored by Kadarius Toney from a lateral pass thrown by Travis Kelce was nullified due to an offensive offsides penalty. This decision ultimately led to the Bills winning the game.
After the game, Mahomes was visibly upset and expressed his frustration towards the officials and Bills quarterback Josh Allen. He later apologized for his remarks, regretting his behavior.
The rivalry between the teams was evident not only in the game but also in the actions of the fans. Bills fans threw snowballs at Mahomes and his teammates as they ran to the locker room. Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill called out the fans and expressed his willingness to retaliate.
In a separate incident, Bills fans burned a photo of Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, during a tailgate. Despite the tension, Swift, along with Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie Kelce, remained positive and supportive during the game.
With their victory over the Bills, the Chiefs will now face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game. The winners of that game will advance to the Super Bowl, where they will compete against either the Detroit Lions or the San Francisco 49ers.
