It was another wild Sunday in the NFL playoffs, with the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions punching their tickets to their respective conference championship games.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs once again got the better of Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in a tight 27-24 battle. The game lived up to the hype, with Mahomes throwing for 215 yards and two touchdowns — both to his favorite target, Travis Kelce. Still, Kansas City had to dig deep. They trailed by four in the final quarter, but a clutch 4-yard touchdown run by Isiah Pacheco gave them a lead they wouldn’t give back. Now, it’s off to the AFC Championship to face the Baltimore Ravens.
Meanwhile, over in the NFC, the Detroit Lions continued their magical run. With a 31-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Lions earned their first trip to the NFC Championship Game in 33 years. Jared Goff tossed scores to both Josh Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown, while linebacker Derrick Barnes sealed it with a late interception of Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.
Next up? The Lions will face the San Francisco 49ers with a shot at their first-ever Super Bowl appearance on the line. For a franchise long plagued by playoff heartbreak, Detroit’s ride is starting to feel like destiny.
Historic Night for Detroit! Lions Beat Bucs to Reach First NFC Championship in 33 Years!
