Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes reacted to defeating the Buffalo Bills and advancing to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Following their AFC championship game victory over the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce celebrated with the Lamar Hunt trophy once again.

Josh Allen is usually efficient while attempting a quarterback sneak or tush push, as the Gen Z slang quantified it. The Buffalo Bills played bold and went for the sneak twice in the same drive.

This was just about the only thing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t do well in the AFC Championship Game.

Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes played a nearly flawless game Sunday as the Chiefs defeated the Bills 32-29 and advanced to Super Bowl LIX.

Poor Patrick Mahomes has to own that last one, as tried to do his best Gronk Spike and ended up literally missing the ground after the football slipped out of his hands. He was immediately roasted for it on commentary and on social media to the point where he hilariously released an apology statement following the game.

After a questionable turnover on downs late in the game, the Chiefs drew up a perfect play for Mahomes in which the Kansas City quarterback took it himself into the end zone—with some impressive blocking help from Travis Kelce—for a 10-yard rushing touchdown, giving his team a 29-22 lead.

During Sunday’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City, Mahomes gave the Chiefs the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 10-yard touchdown run. Mahomes had to evade Bills tacklers and follow the blocking of Travis Kelce. So yeah, he was fired up. So fired up, though, that he completely lost grip on the touchdown spike.

It would not be surprising if Tony Romo carries added baggage into CBS Sports’ AFC Championship Game booth Sunday evening.

In fact, Manning and Brady are the only quarterback duo in NFL history to meet more frequently in the playoffs than Mahomes and Allen. They faced each other five times in the postseason — a record Allen and Mahomes are on pace to shatter.
