The AFC Championship Game can’t get here soon enough.
Shortly after the Bengals iced a 27-10 divisional round win over the Bills on Sunday, Patrick Mahomes rushed to Twitter to let the world know he’s already counting down the days to next week’s rematch of the 2022 conference title game.
Mahomes, who is currently nursing a high-ankle sprain, shared a tweet that included only a clock emoji, a simple yet not-so-subtle sign that the star quarterback is eagerly awaiting the Chiefs’s matchup against the Bengals on Jan. 29. The contest will mark the fourth time the teams have met in the past two seasons, a run that’s seen Cincinnati notch three straight wins—including the classic 27-24 win in the 2021 AFC title game.
