The Kansas Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl. Their exhilarating 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills in their seventh consecutive conference championship game was a tribute to all phases. The output was a season-high, the defense came away with the critical fourth-down stop, and special teams accounted for the game-winning points.

To the chagrin of everyone hoping for someone to end the Chiefs’ success, Kansas City did what it usually does and made just enough plays to get them over the finish line and back to the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. The Bills had a chance to drive for a tying field goal or possible game-winning score but they were stopped by the KC defense. The Chiefs got the ball back and ran out the clock. The final dagger was a Mahomes pass to Samaje Perine for a first down.
