Few play-by-play announcers in the NFL are as beloved as Mitch Holthus, who has been the voice of the Kansas City Chiefs since 1994.
His electric calls have captivated fans for decades, and the performance he put together while broadcasting the Chiefs’ victory over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs was nothing short of legendary.
The team posted a video of Holthus’ exuberant commentary from the final minutes of Sunday’s win, which is sure to get Chiefs Kingdom riled up ahead of Kansas City’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game this weekend.

Calls like these are part of what makes Chiefs football so special. Holthus is an absolute dynamo behind the microphone, and without his outstanding effort to bring fans a best-in-class broadcast, Kansas City’s games wouldn’t be the same.
Expect the long-tenured announcer to bring even more energy to the Chiefs’ next game, which could send them to Super Bowl LVIII.
