(Reuters) – The Kansas City Chiefs beat the top seeded Baltimore Ravens 17-10 to claim the AFC championship on Sunday and earn a trip to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years.
Patrick Mahomes completed 30 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown that to Travis Kelce in the first quarter that had pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift jumping up and down in jubilation in a private box at Baltimore’s at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Chiefs now head to Las Vegas for the Feb. 11 Super Bowl where they will defend their crown against either the San Francisco 49ers or Detroit Lions who meet later on Sunday in the NFC championship game.
No team has won back-to-back NFL titles since Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to Vince Lombardi trophies in 2004 and 2005.
