Patrick Mahomes Dodges Bills Mafia Snowballs, Responds With Bold Chiefs Message

Patrick Mahomes Dodges Buffalo Bills Mafia Snowballs, Responds With Bold Kansas City Chiefs Message

Some fans of the Buffalo Bills - understandably frustrated and angry with the result of Sunday night's playoff visit from the Kansas City Chiefs - responded in an inappropriate manner, trying to pelt Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes with snowballs.

But after the Chiefs defeated the Bills, 27-24, to move on to the AFC Championship Game next Sunday night, when they will take on the Baltimore Ravens, the No. 1 seed in the conference, Mahomes issued a cool response to it all.

"We were here to prove a point,'' Mahomes said. "To show that we can play anywhere.''

Mahomes' Chiefs have been outstanding in his era in K.C.; this marks the sixth straight AFC Championship Game appearance for the defending Super Bowl champs.

As a result of their excellence, they have grown accustomed to playing at home at Arrowhead Stadium, causing some to wonder if they could win at chilly Highmark Stadium.

Question answered.

Mahomes, a two-time NFL MVP, just won his first road start in the playoffs — not counting Super Bowls. And incredibly, he just improved his postseason mark to 13-3.

Mahomes offered postgame praise for Bills Mafia, he clearly wanted the world to know that the Chiefs were trying to stake their claim and prove a point on Sunday night.

The Chiefs did so, and now they will be on the road next week, too, as Baltimore will host the AFC Championship Game.
