Travis Kelce scored twice, and the Kansas City Chiefs advanced to their 6th consecutive AFC championship match with a 27-24 victory against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.
Isiah Pacheco scored the go-ahead TD on a 4-yard run 40 seconds after the beginning of the 4th quarter in a match where franchises traded leads 5 times. Kansas City then clinched the victory by running out the clock after Bills’ Tyler Bass was wide right on a 44-yard FG attempt with less than 2 minutes on the clock.
