Chiefs return to Super Bowl after breaking Bills’ hearts in another thriller

Buffalo Bills 29–32 Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City will face Philadelphia in Super Bowl

Them again. The “three-peat” is alive for the Kansas City Chiefs after they narrowly overcame the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game on Sunday to set up a potentially historic Super Bowl clash with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The finale on 9 February in New Orleans is a reprise of the Super Bowl two years ago that was won 38-35 by the Chiefs after they did just enough against spirited but slightly inferior opponents, thanks in large part to the inspirational play of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Bills know all too well what it’s like to be on the receiving end of that agonising experience.
