The Kansas City Chiefs’ hopes of a Super Bowl three-peat are still alive after their win over the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26. The Chiefs ultimately defeated the Bills at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, with a final score of 32-29. They will advance to Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, and will play the Philadelphia Eagles after their victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game earlier on Sunday.
Prior to the playoffs, the Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC for the 2024-2025 NFL season, while the Bills trailed behind them at No. 2.
During the postseason, the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans on January 18 to advance to the championship game after earning a bye week. The Bills, meanwhile, beat the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens on January 12 and January 19, respectively, to earn their spot in the championship game against the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have been rivals ever since they became quarterbacks in 2018 for the Chiefs and the Bills, respectively.
Throughout their professional careers, the two have met five times in the regular season, with Allen, 28, besting Mahomes, 29, four to one. However, in the playoffs, Allen has yet to defeat Mahomes, with a 0-3 record prior to Sunday’s game. The Chiefs previously beat the Bills in the 2021 AFC Championship Game and the 2022 and 2024 divisional playoff games.
