Patrick Mahomes finally got the best of Joe Burrow. All he needed was a little shove.
Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker made a 45-yard field goal with 3 seconds left — after Cincinnati’s Joseph Ossai was flagged for a 15-yard penalty for shoving Mahomes after he was out of bounds — and the Chiefs beat the Bengals 23-20 in the AFC championship game Sunday night to make it back to the Super Bowl.
It’s the third appearance in a four-year span for Kansas City.
Hours earlier, the Philadelphia Eagles had little trouble getting past the San Francisco 49ers, winning 31-7 in the NFC title game.
Super Bowl LVII is set for 6:30 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Arizona. Fox will televise the game, and the Eagles opened as 1 1/2-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
