Patrick Mahomes had heard the talk about whether the Kansas City Chefs could survive their first road playoff game since he was the starting quarterback. He and his teammates used it as fuel during the week and then in the game, a 27-24 divisional-round win over the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium. The victory sends the Chiefs to another road test next Sunday: the AFC Championship Game against the Ravens in Baltimore. The Chiefs are headed to their sixth straight AFC Championship Game, this time at Baltimore. The first five were at Arrowhead Stadium.
