Chiefs reach Super Bowl after stunning Ravens | Fox 11 Tri Cities Fox 41 Yakima

Kansas City Chiefs upset Baltimore Ravens 17-10 to reach Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce led the charge.

The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a stunning victory over the Baltimore Ravens, defeating the top-seeded team 17-10 and securing a spot in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years. The Chiefs' defense put on an impressive performance, keeping the Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson at bay and dashing Baltimore's hopes of making it to the NFL showpiece.

On the offensive front, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the charge, throwing for one touchdown and 241 yards without any interceptions. Mahomes' performance has put Kansas City in the running for a third Super Bowl title since 2020.

After the AFC Championship victory, Mahomes expressed his confidence in the team, stating, "It's been a heck of a year, we've been underdogs for the last few games but we never feel like underdogs." He credited the team's resilience and playoff experience for their success, emphasizing that the job is not yet done.

Mahomes received support from the trusty tight end Travis Kelce, who made 11 receptions for 116 yards and scored the Chiefs' opening touchdown. Kelce's outstanding performance also earned him a place in the record books, surpassing the legendary Jerry Rice for most all-time postseason catches.

As the Chiefs celebrated their victory, Ravens quarterback Jackson, who is expected to be named the NFL's regular season Most Valuable Player, was left disappointed by another postseason setback. Despite Jackson's 272 passing yards and one touchdown, the Ravens struggled to put points on the board, falling short of their expectations.

The game saw Kelce scoring the opening touchdown for the Chiefs, followed by a swift response from the Ravens. However, the first half belonged to the Chiefs, who managed to secure a 17-7 lead by halftime. The Ravens' offense continued to struggle in the second half, with only a field goal adding to their score.

In the end, the Chiefs sealed the victory, running down the clock and securing their spot in the Super Bowl. As they prepare to face either the Detroit Lions or San Francisco 49ers, the Chiefs are determined to continue their winning streak and claim another Super Bowl title.

Overall, the game showcased the Chiefs' resilience and skill, while highlighting the Ravens' missed opportunities. The stage is now set for an exciting Super Bowl showdown, with Kansas City vying for another championship title.
