As the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills prepare to clash in the AFC Championship Game, the spotlight is firmly on the quarterback duel between Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. This matchup, set for Sunday, January 26, 2025, at 11:30 PM GMT, promises to be another thrilling chapter in what many consider the NFL’s premier contemporary rivalry.
Historically, Mahomes has had the upper hand in postseason encounters, boasting a 3-0 record against Allen. However, Allen has found success in the regular season, holding a 4-1 advantage over Mahomes. Despite these regular-season victories, the Bills have yet to overcome the Chiefs in the playoffs, with memorable defeats including a 27-24 loss in the Divisional Round last year and the heart-wrenching 2021 Divisional Round game, where the Chiefs tied the game with just 13 seconds remaining before winning in overtime.
Both quarterbacks have been prolific in the postseason. Allen averages 313.9 offensive yards per game in the playoffs, the highest in NFL history, with Mahomes close behind at 307.9 yards per game. Since 2018, Allen leads with 262 offensive touchdowns, narrowly edging out Mahomes’ 259.
As the Bills aim to secure their first Super Bowl appearance since the 1993 season, and the Chiefs look to continue their recent dominance, this game is poised to be a defining moment for both franchises. Fans can anticipate a high-stakes showdown that could further cement the legacies of these two elite quarterbacks.
