It's hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, but everything is aligning for this to be Bills QB Josh Allen's moment. Here's why.

Patrick Mahomes will get a chance to make history as the first NFL quarterback to ever win three Super Bowls in a row. Josh Allen will get the chance to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs for the first time in four tries and bring his Buffalo Bills back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994.

The highly anticipated matchup between the AFC heavyweights is expected to be one of the biggest games of the NFL postseason pitting Mahomes, who's in search of the coveted three-peat, against his quarterback rival in Allen, who's still looking for his first Lombardi Trophy.

Mahomes and Allen have been linked throughout their careers. The former was drafted in 2017 but sat a year behind Alex Smith. Allen was drafted in 2018 and played in 12 games as a rookie. Both quarterbacks have comparable skills and stats and have been considered the future of the game for the past four years.

Things do not get any easier for Josh Allen as the Buffalo Bills head to Arrowhead Stadium to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Minutes after the Bills topped the Baltimore Ravens to advance in the NFL playoffs, Allen revealed his first reaction to facing Mahomes again with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

Patrick Mahomes throws for 177 yards and a touchdown, most of it going to best buddy Travis Kelce in the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the Houston Texans.

The Chiefs were able to make it to their seventh-straight conference championship after defeating the Houston Texans 23-14 in the Divisional Round. They did not play during Wild Card Weekend after securing the AFC's No. 1 seed and a bye.
