The Kansas City Chiefs will make their seventh consecutive appearance in the AFC Championship Game this Sunday when they host the Buffalo Bills at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
What is the Chiefs record in the championship round of the NFL playoffs?
Chiefs AFC Championship Game record
Kansas City’s record in the AFC Championship game is 4-3. The franchise experienced a long drought of limited playoff success, making its first appearance in the championship round in the 1993 season. In that matchup, they lost to the Bills 30-13.
They did not return to the conference championships until the 2018 season, Patrick Mahomes first year starting under center for the Chiefs.
In its last two conference championship games, Kansas City was victorious and went on to win the Super Bowl.
Chiefs vs. Bills prediction
Mahomes’ extensive experience in the playoffs should ultimately give him an edge when facing Josh Allen and Buffalo in this tilt, which will decide which team heads to the Super Bowl. The Bills have not had a playoff win against Kansas City with Mahomes at quarterback. They last met up in the conference championships for the 2020 season, where the Chiefs walked away with a 38-24 home victory.
Prediction: Chiefs 27, Bills 20
