Footballguys View: The Chiefs had to win this game to advance without superstar QB Patrick Mahomes to finish the game as he was concussed. Some bold plays by veteran backup QB Chad Henne helped the Chiefs get the win. They iced the game with a fourth-down pass play to WR Tyreek Hill. The Chiefs will see if Mahomes can get through the concussion protocol next week as they prepare to face the Bills at home in the AFC Championship Game.

Footballguys View: It was a valiant effort by the Browns. They had a chance to win it at the end but the Chiefs would not give them the ball back with time dwindling. Cleveland made great strides this season under first-year head coach Kevin Stefanski. We’re excited to see what their future holds as the team continues to build from being a playoff contender to a Super Bowl contender.
