The Cincinnati Bengals could learn many things from the Kansas City Chiefs as they hope one offseason of change is enough to get right back to the playoffs and to contend. But one lesson from the Chiefs reigns far above anything else — get production from rookies right away.
Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce denied that the team intentionally lost its Week 18 game to ensure that the Cincinnati Bengals were eliminated from playoff contention.
Football fans await an electrifying AFC Championship as the Kansas City Chiefs host the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium. The game promises to be thrilling, with the Chiefs aiming to overcome their regular-season defeat to the Bills.
Since taking over as Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback, Patrick Mahomes has lost to the same team twice in one season twice. The first time happened in 2018 when the Chiefs fell to the New England Patriots 43-40 in the regular season and 37-31 in the AFC Championship Game.

"Everybody knows how it is playing (in Kansas City)," Joe Mixon said after Saturday's playoff loss. "The whole world sees, man."

The Buffalo Bills have set up a mouth-watering AFC Championship clash against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Buffalo Bills defeated the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in the Divisional Round at Highmark Stadium to set up a clash against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game.
