The Kansas City Chiefs did what no one believed them to do in the AFC title round. They hampered the victory run of the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. And ‘happy’ coach Andy Reid shared some significant facts that helped the Red Team to stop the Ravens from winning.

The Chiefs won the AFC Title with 17-10 on Sunday. With this win, they are now heading to the Super Bowl once again, where they will battle against the winner of the NFC title.

Andy Reid lauds the Chiefs for the win!

In a post-game press conference of KC, coach Andy Reid appeared in the media to talk about how his “underdog” team recently achieved a massive win over the Ravens. Praising his team’s offense, the coach said, “I thought we did a great job. That’s an explosive offense. Look at the categories of efficiency there. So when you come in with that, you keep that quarterback somewhat in the pocket, the best you can and he’s an unbelievable competitor.”

Furthermore, he praised his team’s linebackers, and continued, “So I think our linebackers did a good job. We asked him to not only cover tight ends and great tight ends but also these receivers at times. So we could, you know, expect that a variety of things he was thrown out of at the offense and I thought our guys did a nice job.” The Chiefs, who were considered “underdogs” in front of Lamar Jackson & team, won with seven points in the AFC conference championship game. However, the game isn’t over yet.

The focus of the reigning Super Bowl champion is currently the next SB win. Therefore, Reid also shared the message that they are not done yet.

The Super Bowl is set to take place on February 11, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. ET in Las Vegas. And the team, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are gearing up for their next game, as he too thinks this isn’t over.

The Chiefs head to the Super Bowl!

KC, who didn’t seem as strong this 2023 regular season, is heading back to the Super Bowl due to their on-time excellent performance, especially with their problematic offense this season. In the latest AFC game, they scored touchdowns in their first two possessions and won 17-10 against the Ravens, earning them a spot in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five years.

With their consecutive AFC title win, they now aim to be the first team since the 2004 Patriots to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Patrick Mahomes, in a post game interview, expressed his happiness to achieve the AFC title once again with his teammates, and highlighted, “I told them [teammates], ‘The job’s not done.’ Our job now is to prepare ourselves to play a good football team in the Super Bowl and try to get that ring.”

The decisive moment in the game was a 32-yard pass from Mahomes to Marquez Valdes-Scantling on 3rd and 9, securing the win as they were able to run out the clock.
