Patrick Mahomes is the face of the National Football League. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is, perhaps, the most electric player thanks to his ability to throw the ball with great precision in adverse circumstances.
Last week when the Chiefs beat the Miami Dolphins in Arrowhead, Mahomes earned his 12th postseason victory. A great figure for the man who has barely six seasons as the starting quarterback for an NFL team.
On Sunday, when he plays a road playoff game for the first time, Mahomes could reach 13 wins and join an exclusive club of quarterbacks.
The Chiefs hit the road to face the Buffalo Bills in a contemporary AFC classic. Kansas City not only defends the American Conference crown, but also the Vince Lombardi trophy that they won last year in the Arizona desert when they beat the Philadelphia Eagles in a dramatic match.

Mahomes, the main driver of the Chiefs’ success, is one win away from matching Bett Favre and Ben Roethlisberger, who left notable marks in their time in the league.
Victory in Buffalo would also open up the opportunity for Mahomes to win his 14th postseason game in the AFC Championship Game. That would put him on par with Hall of Famers Terry Bradshaw, John Elway and Peyton Manning for the third most in NFL history.

If Mahomes wins the two-time championship in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, it would be his fifteenth playoff win. The Chiefs quarterback would be one victory away from Joe Montana and almost halfway to the 35 achieved by Tom Brady.
The Chiefs touch another milestone
With last week’s victory, the Chiefs advanced to the divisional playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
With a win in Buffalo, Kansas City will advance to its sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game, surpassing the Raiders (five consecutive seasons from 1973-77) for the second-longest streak of conference championship appearances in league history.
