- Jacksonville Jaguars 20-27 Kansas City Chiefs
- Chiefs quarterback briefly sidelined with ankle injury
Hobbling along on an injured ankle, Patrick Mahomes threw for 195 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday night, leading the Kansas City Chiefs to a 27-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars and a spot in their fifth straight AFC title game.
Mahomes missed most of the second quarter after his ankle was landed on by a Jacksonville defender. But the All-Pro quarterback returned in the second half and, relying on guts and guile, led the Chiefs on a 75-yard TD drive in the fourth quarter that helped to ensure a date with the Bengals or Bills for a spot in the Super Bowl.
