The Chiefs won the toss again in the overtime and started the drive and hoped that Patrick Mahomes will replicate his performance of last week against the Bills where he found himself in the same situation and led the Chiefs to a hard-earned win.

But, This was not the case this time as Mahomes pass to Tyreek Hill was intercepted which caused a turnover ultimately leading the Bengals to the victory while being down by 18 and a trip to Super Bowl for this young and fascinating team.
