Once again, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have defeated the Buffalo Bills en route to getting to yet another Super Bowl.
Mahomes had nothing but great things to say about Josh Allen after their blockbuster clash in the AFC championship game on Sunday night inside Arrowhead Stadium.
Kansas City Chiefs walked away with a 32-29 win, but Mahomes found himself basically apologizing to Josh Allen after the game.
Patrick Mahomes is “sorry it had to be us” after once again serving as a playoff roadblock to the Buffalo Bills and quarterback Josh Allen.
“I always feel for him—he’s a great player, an amazing competitor, and an awesome dude who I respect so much,” Mahomes said to The Athletic’s Michael Silver.
Mahomes went on to call Allen a “friend” when speaking to The MMQB’s Albert Breer.
The Chiefs defeating the Bills has been an outcome that’s unfortunately becoming a common refrain for Buffalo. Kansas City ended the team’s season in 2020, 2021, 2023, and now, 2024.
The Bills have their number in the regular season, but they simply cannot figure out how to defeat them in the playoffs.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 245 yards in the game with a touchdown and a 111.9 quarterback rating. He also rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns.
Mahomes completed 18-of-26 passes.
Josh Allen passed for 237 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
Patrick Mahomes On The Cusp of Making History
Mahomes’s career has now included two NFL MVPs, five AFC championships, three Super Bowl titles, three Super Bowl MVPs, and 17 postseason wins, but it is nowhere near the end.
The Chiefs will be looking to make NFL history on Sunday, Feb. 9, against the Philadelphia Eagles as they attempt to become the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.
One more victory, and the 29-year-old quarterback will be a four-time Super Bowl champion.
