The AFC title game is returning to a familiar place in Kansas City. The question all week will be whether Patrick Mahomes will be able to play quarterback for the Chiefs. Backup Chad Henne converted a fourth-and-1 pass to Tyreek Hill to seal the game after Mahomes left with a concussion and the Chiefs beat the Cleveland Browns 22-17.

Kansas City is hosting its third straight AFC title game and can get back to the Super Bowl with a win next week against Buffalo. Green Bay will host either Tampa Bay or New Orleans in the NFC title game.
