KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes scrambled for a first down on his badly sprained right ankle, then was shoved late out of bounds by Joseph Ossai, giving Harrison Butker a chance to kick a 45-yard field goal with 3 seconds left that gave the Kansas City Chiefs a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC title game Sunday night.
The Chiefs finally managed to beat the Bengals after three straight losses, including a three-point overtime defeat in last year's conference championship game. Kansas City advanced to play the Philadelphia Eagles in their third Super Bowl in four years.
