Chiefs outlast Bengals to get back to the Super Bowl

Harrison Butker knocked in a 45-yard field goal with 3 seconds left and the Kansas City Chiefs edged past the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 to win the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night. The Chiefs will head back to the Super Bowl for the third time in the past four seasons.

Butker’s kick came after a scramble for a few yards by Patrick Mahomes and a personal foul penalty was thrown for a late hit that put Butker into range. It was a back and forth game prior to that with the Chiefs leading 13-6 at halftime, the Bengals tying it at 13 early in the third, and two more traded scores before a largely quiet fourth quarter.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling hauled in a 19-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes with 4:15 left in the third quarter to put KC up 20-13. Samaje Perine scored on a 2-yard run with 13:30 left to tie it back up at 20.

Mahomes finished 29-43 passing for 326 yards and 2 touchdowns. Valdes-Scantling hauled in 6 catches for 116 yards and a score while three other Chiefs receivers left the game with injury. The Chiefs improved to 14-3 on the season and will now face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl on February 12th. The Eagles beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the NFC Championship earlier in the day.

Joe Burrow was 26-41 passing for 270 yards and 1 touchdown with 2 interceptions. The Bengals end the season at 12-4.
