The NFL playoffs always produce legendary moments and matchups, but there really is something special about two teams — and two superstar players, in their primes — battling for all the marbles. On Sunday, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen lead the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills, respectively, into the AFC Championship game with the Chiefs looking for some NFL history if they can make it to Super Bowl LIX. Kansas City — which lost to Buffalo on the road earlier this year — is vying to become the first team in the Super Bowl-era to win three straight championships.

Kansas City is also trying to knock Allen and the Bills out of the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five seasons. During that span, the Bills and Chiefs have played every regular season and the Bills have each won each of their four-regular season matchups since 2021, including three wins in Kansas City. With a win Sunday, Buffalo would head to the Super Bowl for the first time in 31 years.

Time: 6:30 p.m. ET
Location: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium | Kansas City, Mo.
TV Channel: CBS
Streaming: Paramount+, Fubo

Live24 updates

  • How? HOW!!?!?!?!?

    First How is Mahomes getting this throw off and the second is this Worthy catch!!!!

  • Bills go 3-and-out with just under 4 minutes to go

    And the Chiefs get a HUGE punt return from Nikko Remigio, 44 yards and the Chiefs are in business to start their next drive.

  • Buffalo pend the drive with just over 4 minutes to go

    It starts with a penalty, an illegal formation for an extra offensive lineman not reporting as eligible. Mistakes the Bills can’t have on the road.

  • Mahomes’ hot start continues with TD Pass to Xavier Worthy

    This is a good throw by Mahomes, but this kind of speed you have to draft. Just unbelievable from Worthy, who’s got 4 catches for 36 yards and this one puts K.C. back in front 14-10.

  • Patrick Mahomes has been VERY sharp to start the game.

    He’s opened 7-for-8 for 90 yards. He’s averaged 306 passing yards per game and thrown 8 TDs with 0 interceptions in his three playoff wins against Buffalo.

  • Chiefs pick up huge 4th and 1 on their own 39-yard-line

    The gamble paid off with Mahomes’ legs

  • James Cook gives Buffalo the lead

    This six-yard TD run came after Allen hit Shakir for a big gain to get the Bills to 1st and Goal, and Cook now has 20 touchdowns, regular and postseason combined.

  • Bills convert huge 3rd down

    Josh Allen beams a laser to Amari Cooper — his second catch of the game for a big first down inside the K.C. 35.

  • Oliver ripped the ball away from Mahomes

    Great camera work by the CBS Sports crew in K.C.

  • Chiefs turn it over!

    Ed Oliver jumps on the fumbled handoff, and it’ the Chiefs’ first turnover since their Week 11 loss to the Bills. Huge play that could swing the momentum in this game. Kansas City’s offense is averaging nearly 9.0 yards per play right now.

  • Mahomes scrambles for 12 and a 1st down

    He’s already done it a couple of times tonight, escaping the pocket for positive gains. Two carries for 16 yards. Kansas City has it with a 2nd down near midfield with an injury timeout for Bills’ DB Christian Benford, who is being carted off the field.

  • Bills forced into long field goal

    After Allen bobbled a second down snap, which brought up a 3rd and long, Tyler Bass was forced into a 53-yard field goal attempt, which he nailed — he’s never missed from 50+ in the playoffs — to cut into the K.C. lead.

  • Bills pick up their first 1st down of the game

    Allen hits Kahlil Shakir for the Bills, and the move the sticks for the first time.

  • Kareem Hunt runs it in from 12

    Chiefs go 90 yards in nine plays for the TD to open the scoring. Mahomes was 4-for-4 for 61 yards and Hunt carried the ball three times for 22 yards and the score. K.C. was on fire that first drive.

  • Mahomes to JuJu for the first big one of the game

    31 yards to JuJu for the chunk play.

  • Bills take the opening kickoff and quickly go three and out

    Both of Josh Allen’s passes got tipped by K.C. defenders and could have been intercepted, and the Chiefs will take over for their first drive at their own 10-yard-line

  • The Philadelphia Eagles are headed to Super Bowl 59

    Tonight’s winner gets the Eagles in New Orleans in two weeks for all the marbles.

  • Superstar quarterback tale of the tape

    Josh Allen is already one of the best of his era, Patrick Mahomes is already one of the best of all time and both players are still in their 20s. Mahomes has had the better of Allen (K.C. lead 3-0 in their three playoff meetings) in the postseason, but this regular season, the individual ✅ goes to Allen, who’s a finalist — along with Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkely — for the NFL MVP award. It would be his first MVP, while Mahomes won the award in 2018 and 2022.

  • Patrick Mahomes making a fan’s day before the AFC title matchup

  • Bills inactives for the AFC Championship

  • Chiefs inactives for the AFC Championship

  • Week 11: Bills 30, Chiefs 21

    The last time these two teams shared the field was in Week 11 at Buffalo — a 30-21 Buffalo win. Josh Allen threw for 262 yards and a touchdown and had a rushing touchdown in the final minutes to seal the deal. Patrick Mahomes threw a couple of interceptions in the only loss they’ve had this season when their starters played. Dating back to last season, Kansas City has won 22 of its last 24 games, including the Super Bowl last season.

  • Bills’ receiver Mack Hollins is a national treasure

  • The AFC title game is here and officiating has been a concern in Kansas City games among some fans

    Former NFL official and current rules expert Gene Steratore laid out his thoughts on social media. Some of the controversy surrounded Patrick Mahomes drawing a penalty flag for a hit to the head on a slide where two Texans defenders collided but did not hit him.
