Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.
Josh Allen is usually efficient while attempting a quarterback sneak or tush push, as the Gen Z slang quantified it. The Buffalo Bills played bold and went for the sneak twice in the same drive.
While the Kansas City Chiefs victory over the Buffalo Bills was monumental, controversy surrounded the game due to accusations of flopping. CBS commentator Tony Romo raised concern
Following their AFC championship game victory over the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce celebrated with the Lamar Hunt trophy once again.
After a questionable turnover on downs late in the game, the Chiefs drew up a perfect play for Mahomes in which the Kansas City quarterback took it himself into the end zone—with some impressive blocking help from Travis Kelce—for a 10-yard rushing touchdown, giving his team a 29-22 lead.
This was just about the only thing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn’t do well in the AFC Championship Game.
Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes played a nearly flawless game Sunday as the Chiefs defeated the Bills 32-29 and advanced to Super Bowl LIX.

Mahomes led the Chiefs to their third straight Super Bowl appearance with their win over the Bills on Sunday, but one sloppy throw is stuck in fans' minds.
Nantz is aware not only of the Chiefs’ quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, but their attempt to join the New York Giants as the only teams to appear in a title game five times in a six-season span.
During Sunday’s AFC Championship Game in Kansas City, Mahomes gave the Chiefs the lead early in the fourth quarter on a 10-yard touchdown run. Mahomes had to evade Bills tacklers and follow the blocking of Travis Kelce. So yeah, he was fired up. So fired up, though, that he completely lost grip on the touchdown spike.
