The Kansas City Chiefs will have the opportunity to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls after defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Kansas City will play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX at 5:30 p.m. CST Feb. 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. FOX will televise the game.

The Eagles advanced with a 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

Kansas City responded to a fourth-down, game-tying touchdown by the Bills with 6:15 to play with a field goal with 3:33 remaining, then stopped Buffalo’s final possession on downs. The Bills were 4-of-6 on fourth down in Sunday’s game. Both failures came in the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs have won 17 consecutive games decided by eight or fewer points, including 12 since the 2024 season kicked off with Kansas City’s 27-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 18-of-26 passes for 245 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions and ran for 43 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries on Sunday.

Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen completed 22-of-34 passes for 237 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 39 yards on 11 carries. Bills running back James Cook had 85 yards and two touchdowns on 13 rushing attempts.
