The Chiefs wrapped up their third consecutive AFC West championship as well as the top seed in the conference, and assured that the road to the Super Bowl will run through Arrowhead Stadium, with a 35-3 domination of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
Player of the game: Patrick Mahomes surpassed 5,000 yards passing and reached 50 touchdown passes this season with a 281-yard day that included touchdown throws of 67 and 89 yards.
Reason to hope: The Chiefs needed to win in order to control their postseason situation. A loss would’ve put their seeding and homefield advantage in limbo based upon the results of other games.
