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.

Their exhilarating 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday evening, in their seventh consecutive conference championship game, was a tribute to all three phases of football: The Chiefs’ scoring output was a season-high, their defense provided a critical fourth-down stop and their special teams accounted for the game-winning points.
