Mahomes vs. Allen; A Rivalry Renewed in AFC Championship Showdown
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at Arrowhead Stadium. The game marks the fourth playoff meeting between Mahomes and Bills quarterback Josh Allen, with Mahomes holding a 3-0 record in postseason matchups. The Chiefs are aiming for a historic third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, a feat no team has achieved in the Super Bowl era.
Mahomes, who has been a dominant force in the playoffs, enters the game with a strong track record against the Bills, including a memorable 13-second comeback victory in the 2021 AFC Championship Game. Despite a regular-season loss to Buffalo earlier this year, Mahomes and the Chiefs are favored to advance, with the quarterback averaging 306 passing yards and eight touchdowns with zero interceptions in his three playoff wins against the Bills.
The rivalry between Mahomes and Allen has drawn comparisons to the legendary matchups between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. While Allen has a 4-1 regular-season record against Mahomes, the Chiefs have consistently prevailed in the postseason. Mahomes has thrown for 2,220 yards, 18 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in his career against Buffalo, while Allen has 2,063 yards, 17 touchdowns, and four interceptions in the same span.
The game also comes amid personal challenges for Mahomes, whose grandfather, Randy Martin, was recently placed in hospice care. Despite the emotional weight, Mahomes has remained focused, leading the Chiefs to a 15-2 record this season and continuing his pursuit of a third Super Bowl title.
The Bills, on the other hand, are seeking their first Super Bowl appearance since 1993. Buffalo’s offense, led by Allen, will need to overcome Kansas City’s strong defense, which has been a key factor in the Chiefs’ playoff success. The game is expected to be a high-stakes battle, with both teams vying for a chance to compete in Super Bowl LIX.
