deadline.comPatrick Mahomes earned a shot at history tonight as the Kansas City Chiefsdefeated the Buffalo Bills, 32-29, and will now face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on February 9.
The matchup marks the seventh time the Chiefs have been to the big game and the team’s third appearance in a row. What’s more, if they win, it would technically make the Patrick Mahomes-led team the first in league history to win three Super Bowls in a row.
