Bills vs. Chiefs live score, updates, highlights from AFC championship game

The Bills will not get the reprieve from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes they had hoped for in Sunday’s 2021 AFC championship game.

Mahomes was knocked out of the divisional round by a hit to his head area, but he passed though the NFL concussion protocol during the week and will start at Arrowhead Stadium. Chad Henne would have been the choice had Mahomes been ruled out.

While the Bills held the Ravens and Lamar Jackson to three points last weekend, their encounter with Mahomes presents a far greater challenge to their Super Bowl quest. Kansas City’s offense usually hums under its star passer in a way few other teams can match. And even though Buffalo is proficient at moving the ball behind Josh Allen, the combination of crowd noise in Kansas City and the pressure of a conference title game is unfamiliar.

The AFC championship game is the NFL’s second matchup Sunday after the Packers and Buccaneers clashed earlier in the afternoon.
