With a win over Bills, the Chiefs became the sole home team to win in the divisional round. Not to mention, the only team in the divisional rounds to win via a touchdown rather than a field goal.
Now, the Chiefs are headed to their fourth consecutive championship game appearance in the AFC. They will be hosting the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC championship game.
The final score of the 2022 NFL divisional playoff game was Chiefs 42, Bills 36.
