Patrick Mahomes has certainly become the new-gen star of the league after a phenomenal performance against the Josh Allen-led Buffalo Bills. He led his Kansas City Chiefs to a 42-36 ticket to the AFC Conference Championship Game. He has helped the franchise reach the four AFC Conference Championship Games in a row.

However, it was not easy for him to do so. The two beast quarterbacks locked horns in a battle that many believe to be the best Divisional Round game ever to be played. None of the two sides backed down as both continued to play a rally of touchdowns scored one after the other. It was certainly a delight for the ones in the Arrowhead Stadium since the home team emerged victorious in the end.

In the battle of quarterbacks, it is hard to evaluate who was the better performer of the night. Patrick Mahomes finished with 33 passes of 44 attempts for 378 yards scoring three passing touchdowns with no interceptions. Furthermore, he also scrambled for a touchdown in seven carries covering 69 yards.

While Josh Allen completed 27 of 37 pass attempts for 329 yards scoring four touchdowns and no overturns. Judging by those numbers, there couldn’t have been a clear winner, yet the Chiefs took full advantage of the OT possession to get the win.
