The dramatic AFC championship between Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills included two official history lines that were the NFL world during the game and one that was a little more underrated.
Patrick Mahomes’ Touchdown race in the second quarter so a penalty flies at the end of the play. Bills Safety Damar Hamlin tried to tackle Mahomes before reaching the final zone but was not successful.

Mahomes’ Momentum wore him and Hamlin a few more meters before Quarterback was tackled. Travis Kelce came over and gave Hamlin a few extra words after touchdown. It wasn’t clear what the tight end said.
Bill’s defensive Lineman Jordan Phillips came in defense of Hamlin and entered Chiefs Star’s Grill. Kelce fluttered backwards and Phillips was called for a penalty.
Tony Romo, former Dallas Cowboy’s Quarterback-Vinde-CBS TV company, noticed it and called Kelce out.
“Kelce knows how to get under your skin,” Romo said. “And Phillips comes in … [Kelce] Samples on the flop. “

The controversial calls around Chiefs have become a theme for their playoff runs so far. Two questionable sanctions were called for Houston Texans in the Chiefs’ Divisional Round victory, and Mahomes tried for a third as he flew out of the borders after a race.
Mahomes admitted that he went a little too far to try to draw a flag.
“I want to say that the only one I felt I was probably doing too much was the one on the sidelines where I didn’t get a flag and the referee saw it and didn’t throw a flag and I understood it right away,” he said in a radio conversation last week.
“But at the same time, the one that everyone is talking about where I fell down, it’s like I was just trying to get out of the way to be smoked by the defensive lineman running in.
“So I will try to continue doing it and not take these hits because it is the smart way to live in the football game.”
