The Buffalo Bills are set to host the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend in the divisional round for the final time this season. However, that’s not all football enthusiasts are going to witness in this thriller. There’s one more thing that spectators or viewers can witness, delighting KC fans out there, which will remind them of the era of Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are arguably the best quarterback-tight end duo, having a perfect “bromance“ in the NFL world currently. No doubt, the duo is often compared with the Brady-Gronkowski pair. Mahomes and Kelce are now one step away from breaking Brady and Gronkowski’s record, and the Bills-Chiefs’ clash would officially solidify the narrative.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s ‘connection’ might surpass Brady and Gronk’s most TDs in playoffs record

On Sunday, January 21, every NFL fan, especially the KC fans, will mark their calendar as a few histories are going to unfold. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce will encounter a new challenge in the Bills’ game. Since Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback in 2018, this dynamic duo has never played a playoff game on the road.

The upcoming AFC divisional against the Bills will mark their first road playoff game, and there’s a chance to make history when the Chiefs’ offense steps onto the field. Not only this! The NFL community might witness the Chiefs’ QB-TE duo either tie or cross Tom Brady-Rob Gronkowski’s most TDs by QB-Receiver Duo in post-season history.
