The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes lauded his team’s performance following their 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills to book their place in the AFC Championship Game. This is Mahomes’ first true road playoff game since joining the Chiefs.

“Guys took it as a challenge,” Mahomes said in his post-match press conference. “We just came in with the same mindset, that we’re going to come together, put our best foot forward and see if we can come out with a win. And that takes the mentality throughout the week, it takes every single play executing, and we did a great job of that today and were able to score enough to win.”

Mahomes emerged as a standout player for the Chiefs on the night, throwing just 23 passes by securing 215 yards and two touchdowns. With an impressive road record of 8-2 this season, the Chiefs will face the Baltimore Ravens in yet another challenging road game on Sunday as they look to book their place in Super Bowl LIII.

The Portland Timbers beat Kansas City 3-2 on Thursday to win the Western Conference and book a place in the MLS Cup on Dec. 8. The team will face Atlanta United in their second MLS Cup appearance in four seasons.

Kansas City opened the scoresheet in the 20^th minute after Diego Rubio passed the ball through Zarek Valentin’s legs for a superb first-half goal. The Timbers attempted to equalize in the 40^th minute but Andy Polo’s shot was blocked by Sporting’s goalkeeper.

In the second half, Sebastian Blanco netted a beautiful goal with a shot from outside the box to level the game on in the 52^nd minute. With that goal, Portland only required to hold defense and could have won the competition based on the away goal rule.

Luckily for their fans, the Timbers sought a clear win, scoring in the 81^st and the 90^th + 9 minutes through goals by Gerso Fernandes and Diego Valeri. Coach Giovanni Savares credited his team for the hard work and said the team placed the team where it wanted to be.

“It’s a credit to a group that worked hard, a group that believed all along that we could achieve something great,” the coach said. “Now, this achievement puts us where we want to be, in the final.”

The Timbers will face title favorites Atlanta United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on December eight.
