In a nail-biting showdown that endured the frigid temperatures of Buffalo, the Kansas City Chiefs secured a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Bills on Sunday night, propelling them to their sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game.
This remarkable feat places them just behind the New England Patriots historic run of eight consecutive trips to the title game from 2011 to 2018.
It was a devastating loss for the Bills and their entire fan base. Everything they had been building was for the very opportunity they had on Sunday. There they were against the hated Chiefs, finally playing at home for a change … But they blew it.
Bills fans let out their frustrations immediately following the game as many threw snowballs at the Chiefs, including quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Interestingly, when Kansas City got back to their locker room to celebrate the enormous victory, they were meant with a cold surprise … They had NO hot water.
Offensive tackle Donovan Smith was the first to let the world know – and made it clear that he didn’t think it was some random coincidence.
“Damn caught a L and they shut our hot water of… smh its all good we that Dub today #ChiefsKingdom,” Smith tweeted on X.

The Chiefs weren’t about to let the cold showers dampen their mood.
With their sights set on making history as the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the 2003-2004 Patriots, Kansas City celebrated long into the night.
For years i felt bad for Bills fans. After the snowballs and this shit. Fuck em.

Many had counted the Chiefs out this season – at least when it came to being a true Super Bowl contender.
It’s true they haven’t been nearly as dominant as in years past … But when the lights are brightest, they always show up.
Even after they turned the hot water off after the Chiefs won! The locker room was still electric. Enjoy Cancun @BuffaloBills 😂pic.twitter.com/BjG4bxuRwk

The Chiefs will once again play the role of underdog this week when they travel to Baltimore for the AFC Championship Game.
Very few things in football are sweeter than winning on the road as an underdog, especially in the playoffs.
You get the sense that Mahomes and that entire team are relishing in the underdog role which they haven’t experienced much.
wait WHAT?? the bills team shut off the hot water so the chiefs couldnt use the locker rooms after the game? thats literally so fucking childish no wonder they lost the game they're just a bunch of babies out there

Do you think the Chiefs will beat the Ravens and get back to the Super Bowl?
Will Kansas City be the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls since the dynasty Patriots?
As far as the “no hot water” debacle – Do you think the Bills did it on purpose???
