The Chiefs are the reigning Super Bowl champions, they finished the regular season with an NFL-best 14-2 record and will host a third consecutive AFC Championship Game becoming only the second team in NFL history to host three straight championship games. The first was the Philadelphia Eagles between 2002 and 2004 when, incidentally, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was in charge.
Rodgers' near-faultless performances throughout the regular season have made him the clear favorite to secure the MVP crown. Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, dazzled as he has done since becoming the Chiefs starter in 2018, but his presence against the Bills remains uncertain after he left the Divisional Round win against the Cleveland Browns with concussion.
More recently, with the exception of the 2018 season, home teams have won both championship games each year since 2013. The trend could be significant as it comes at the end of a regular season during which road teams won 128 games, a winning percentage of .500 and the highest amount of wins since the NFL's most-recent realignment in 2002.. The previous day, Green Bay's trip to Tampa ended in a 38-10 shellacking by the Bucs.
