As Mahomes greeted Chiefs fans before leaving the field, Bills fans tried to approach him at least once. The star quarterback was forced to avoid a snowball being thrown at him.

Snowballs were being thrown from Highmark Stadium during the game, especially in the end zone where the Chiefs were looking to score.
Mahomes finished the game 17-of-23 passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns, both to Travis Kelce. It was the tight end's first multi-touchdown game since Jan. 21, 2023, in the Chiefs' playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The duo surpassed Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski for the most postseason touchdowns by a quarterback-receiver duo.
“To be able to go out there and play in a big game says a lot about Travis and the work he does,” Mahomes said. “It's special to pass guys with Brady and Gronk because they're two of the greatest players.”
Kansas City advanced to the AFC Championship Game for the sixth straight year. This time, they will face the conference's No. 1 seed, the Baltimore Ravens, who have never hosted a conference title game before.

“There's no weakness there,” Mahomes said of the Ravens. “It's going to require our best effort. Defense, offense, special teams, they'll do it all. It's always a great challenge and that stadium will be rocking. So we're up to that challenge. I’m excited about it.”
