A rematch for the ages with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line will stream live on Paramount+. GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium will host the 2025 AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
These franchises have a historic rivalry that dates back to the days of the AFL in 1960. From the days of being charter members of that league until now, they’ve met 56 times with the Bills leading the all-time series 30-25-1. However, in the postseason, the Chiefs lead 4-2, with the most notable comeback happening in 13 seconds during a 2021 AFC Divisional playoff game.
This rivalry has been highlighted in recent years due to quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, two of the best in the conference. The QBs have gone head-to-head 8 times and split their records 4-4. However, Allen has yet to beat Mahomes in the postseason, with Buffalo’s QB going 4-1 in the regular season and 0-3 in the playoffs against Kansas City’s signal caller. Mahomes and the Chiefs are looking to advance to their third straight Super Bowl and attempt to become the first three-peat in NFL history. For the Bills, they are looking to get over the hump at Arrow Stadium and advance to the Big Game for the first time since 1994.
