Chiefs defeat Bills 42-36 in OT, head to AFC championship

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Patrick Mahomes found Travis Kells in the corner of the end zone at the start of overtime, and the Kansas City Chiefs put on a wild divisional-round weekend to beat the Buffalo Bills 42-36 on Sunday night. ,

Harrison Butcker, who had previously missed a field goal and extra points, scored 49-yards for Kansas City as time ran out to force overtime.

The Chiefs won the coin toss, marched rapidly downfield against the NFL's top-ranked but weary defense, and in their fourth straight AFC title game. They will play the Bengals next Sunday night for a spot in the Super Bowl.

Mahomes finished with 378 yards and three touchdowns during the thrilling final minutes of regulation, including 64 yards to Tyrek Hill. The Chiefs ended the Bills season inside Arrowhead Stadium for the second year in a row.

Josh Allen did everything in his power to stop it. He threw a go-forward touchdown pass to Gabriel Davis with 1:54 left in regulation, then another for Davis—his playoff-record fourth TD catch—with 13 seconds remaining.

Yet there was enough time for the warlords to set up Butkar's tying kick.

Allen finished with 329 yards, and Davis had eight catches for 201 yards, in an even more devastating loss than their loss to Kansas City in last year's AFC title game.
