‘It’s you vs everybody,’ said Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes after enjoying his team’s first-ever road playoff victory.
There’s precious few feats Patrick Mahomes has yet to accomplish in his already illustrious seven-year career, but Sunday marked another first.
The Chiefs’ two-time Most Valuable Player earned his first-ever true postseason road win, 27-24, over the Buffalo Bills, throwing for 215 yards, two touchdowns and a 131.6 passer rating on 17-of-23 passing.
“First off, this is a great environment, man. It really is,” Mahomes told CBS Tracy Wolfson on the field following the game. “But we did hear it all week about playing a road game, and we’re here to prove a pdint and show that we can play anywhere.”
Even after a season in which the Chiefs were uncharacteristically mediocre on offense with a 15th-ranked scoring unit, one would be foolish to doubt Kansas City’s ability to turn it on-regardless of location.
But it was indeed a storyline all week.
Mahomes went an astounding six seasons into his tenure as a starting
quarterback without playing a postseason game on the road.
He did win two Super Bowls at neural sites, and he lost Super BowI LV to the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay’s home stadium something he pointed out to reporters his postgame news conference-but his Sunday night at Highmark Stadium marked new territory as a true, designated away game.
Bills Mafia showed out to make him as uncomfortable as possible, but it showed up neither in the stat sheet nor the final result.
“I love being at Arrowhead,” Mahomes said at the postgame podium. “I love being at Arrowhead and playing in front of that crowd. But when you’re on the road, it’s you versus them. It’s you versus everybody in the stadium, and you have to come together as a team and let guys do that. You saw that in the game today” Counting out a one-play possession that ended the first half, Mahomes and Co. scored on their first five possessions
He led them on drives of 46 and 64 yards that netted field goals, then hit another gear to keep up with Josh Allen and the Bills.
After seven straight games being held without a TD connection to Travis Kelce Mahomes found his All-Pro tight end on a 22-yard pass to pull in front, 13-10, then again on a 3-yard score on the opening drive of the third quarter to again wrest the lead away from Buffalo, 20-17.
