Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills had their season fall short once again, losing to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, 32-29, in the AFC Championship Game.

In the second quarter, the Chiefs built an 11-point lead before the Bills stormed back to take a one-point advantage in the third. With the game tied at 29 with 6:15 left. Mahomes led Kansas City down the field to set up Harrison Butker for the go-ahead field goal.

Butker made it, giving the Chiefs a three-point lead with 3:33 to play. But Allen couldn’t get much going on the Bills’ final drive. It ended in a turnover on downs, securing the win for Kansas City.

After the game, Allen and Mahomes met at midfield for the customary postgame handshake between QB1s. On Wednesday, the NFL released a Mic’d Up video from the conference championships, revealing the messages the two quarterbacks had for one another.
Love you, brother,” Mahomes said. “Hell of a year man.”

“Go get another one,” Allen replied.

In the win, Mahomes completed 18 of 26 passes for 245 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions while adding another 43 yards and two scores on the ground. Allen, on the other hand, completed 22 of 34 passes for 237 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. He added 39 rushing yards as well.

Allen and Mahomes have gone head-to-head nine times during their NFL careers. Allen and the Bills have dominated the regular season, going 4-1 against the Chiefs. In the playoffs, Mahomes and Kansas City are 4-0 against Buffalo.

Mahomes and the Chiefs continue their quest for the first three-peat in NFL history. They face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl on Feb. 9.
