Andy Reid-led Kansas City Chiefs made their way to their second-successive AFC Championship win in front of home fans with a 28-34 win over Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce were the two standout offensive stars for the Chiefs that night. But wide receiver Tyreek Hill put in a strong shift. He had 172 receiving yards on 9 receptions.

He said, “It is still an option because it’s always been my dream to do multiple sports at the highest level. It would be amazing. I just want to prove a point and also, like, I love competing…Like I’m young so why not use everything that I got while I still have it.”
