Travis Kelce leads the Chiefs into the AFC Championship against the Bills, breaking playoff records and showcasing elite performance.

Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs is poised for a thrilling AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills. In the Divisional Round, Kelce showcased his elite skills, racking up 117 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven receptions against the Houston Texans. This performance marked his ninth postseason game with over 100 receiving yards, a record he now holds alone, surpassing the legendary Jerry Rice. With a total of 2,020 career playoff receiving yards, Kelce is just 225 yards shy of Rice`s all-time record of 2,245 yards. Coach Andy Reid credited Kelce`s success to his positive mindset and the team`s diverse talent, which keeps defenses guessing.

The upcoming AFC Championship Game promises to be a riveting matchup, especially considering the Bills are the only team to defeat the Chiefs` starters in the last 13 months. In their previous encounter during Week 11, the Bills managed to limit Kelce to just two catches for 8 yards. However, Kelce has historically performed well in playoff matchups against the Bills, averaging 8.7 catches and 96.3 yards per game with five touchdowns across three playoff games.

On the NFC side, the Philadelphia Eagles will face off against the Washington Commanders in a highly anticipated NFC Championship Game. This matchup is intensified by the division rivalry and the uncertainty surrounding Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts` knee injury. The Commanders, led by rookie QB Jayden Daniels, are looking to capitalize on this opportunity despite the Eagles` home-field advantage.

The NFL playoff schedule is set, with both the AFC and NFC Championship Games taking place on January 26, 2025, followed by Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025. For more details on the playoff schedule, check out the NFL playoff schedule and insights from Coach Reid on Kelce`s performance here.
