Kansas City had some tough luck but managed to hold on for a 22-17 victory over Cleveland in AFC Divisional playoff action Sunday.
Losing Patrick Mahomes to a concussion in the third quarter, Chad Henne stepped in along with the defense and held on for the victory.
Henne had a 13-yard scramble on third down and completed a pass to Tyreek HIll on fourth down. The team went for the first down and got it with around a minute remaining in the game. They ran the clock out for the win.
Mahomet connected on 11 of 12 passes and the Chiefs scored back-to-back touchdowns as Mahommes ran for the first and Travis Kelce pulled in a 20 yard pass for the second.
In Saturday games, Green Bay defeated Arizona, 32-18 while Buffalo won over Baltimore, 17-3. In the other Sunday contest, Tampa Bay downed New Orleans, 30-20.
This coming Sunday, Tampa Bay will face Green Bay at 2:05 p.m. for the NFC championship while Buffalo takes on Kansas City at 5:40 for the AFC title. Those two winners then meet for the Super Bowl Sunday, February 5.
