Another Brilliant AFC Championship Game Performance for Andy Reid

Leave it to the Chiefs to save their best offensive performance of the year for the AFC Championship Game against the Bills. After finishing 2024 as the 15th-best scoring offense in the NFL, K.C. put a season-high 32 points on the board against Buffalo, and they’re advancing to an unprecedented 5th Super Bowl in 6 seasons as a result.

Super Bowl LVII Recap: Chiefs Offense vs. Eagles Defense

The 7 Plays From Tom Brady's Super Bowl Wins That Defined Him as a Quarterback

To me, it was the fact that he was the same player in those big moments as he was on any random 2nd down in the first quarter of a less-meaningful Week 3 game. He relied on consistent and repeatable traits that served him well regardless of the situation.
