- It wasn't pretty, but the Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl after a narrow 23-20 win over the Bengals in the AFC title game.
- The Bengals were done in by a costly penalty - with just eight seconds left and the score tied 20-20, Bengals DE Joseph Ossai drew a personal foul penalty for hitting Patrick Mahomes out of bounds.
- That penalty put the Chiefs in field goal range, allowing Harrison Butker to drill a 45-yard kick to secure the win.
- The Chiefs will now face the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, Feb. 12th in Glendale, Arizona. It will be the Chiefs' third Super Bowl appearance in the last four seasons.
