The NFL conference championship games saved the best for last. In the AFC championship, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20. Harrison Butker kicked a 45-yard field goal. Previously, QB Patrick Mahomes ran for a first down and was awarded 15 more yards on a personal foul late hit call. The injury-ravaged Chiefs found a way to beat their old nemesis. Hence KC made its third Super Bowl in four years. By contrast, the Philadelphia Eagles had far less drama in their 31-7 Super Bowl odds win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game.
