The Kansas City Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl in search of a three-peat, and they can thank their gritty ability to win close games. They did it again on Sunday against Buffalo in a 32-29 victory in the AFC title game.

“We had six or seven games where it was one possession. We continued to build off,” Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “These games are very familiar to us. We’re used to being in these types of situations. We feel very calm, we feel very at peace with what we’re running — the speed of it, the pace of it and the playcalling.”
Need more proof? Go back to the start of the 2019 postseason, when the Chiefs were headed toward their first Super Bowl title in five decades. Eleven times in the playoffs, they’ve trailed by a score in the fourth quarter or overtime, and they’ve been able to produce seven touchdowns and four game-tying field goals in those stress-inducing situations.
“It takes everybody,” Mahomes said Sunday night, “and we’ve done it so many different ways now that we just have full trust. The coaches have trust in the players and the players trust in the coaches, and we go out there and execute our job. When you’ve done it over and over again, it becomes habit. And obviously, we’d want to win by more, but I think the regular season — winning all those close games — has prepared us for moments like today.
