During the AFC Championship game, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes scored a memorable touchdown, powering his way into the end zone past Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin and other defenders. However, his ensuing celebration didn't quite go as planned. Mahomes attempted a celebratory spike, but the ball slipped from his grasp and tumbled awkwardly to the sideline. The quarterback later acknowledged the flub on social media, humorously apologizing for the mishap.
This touchdown was one of two rushing scores for Mahomes in the game, alongside a passing touchdown. He completed 18 of 26 passes for 245 yards and added 43 rushing yards. His two rushing touchdowns brought his career postseason rushing touchdown total to seven, surpassing former Chiefs running back Damien Williams for the most in franchise postseason history. The victory also marked Mahomes' 17th career postseason win, moving him past Joe Montana for second place all-time in NFL history, behind Tom Brady's 35.
With this AFC Championship win, the Chiefs secured their spot in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles. The game will be broadcast on FOX and streamed on Tubi.
