As for the Chiefs, a disappointing end to the season after trying to be the first team to win back-to-back titles since the Patriots did it in 2004. Mahomes and the high-powered offense never go off the ground. The Chiefs never got into the end zone with Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce held to a combined 206 yard
Mahomes played injured and without two starting offensive tackles, forcing him to scramble most of the night. He finished going 26-of-49 for 270 yards and two interceptions.
