Patrick Mahomes stopped celebrating Chiefs win to run across the field and hug
Josh Allen





PATRICK MAHOMES STOPPED CELEBRATING CHIEFS WIN TO RUN ACROSS THE FIELD AND HUG
JOSH ALLEN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Ryan Miller   | Rochester Democrat and Chronicle


Patrick Mahomes jumped into Travis Kelce's arms in the end zone to celebrate
their game-winning touchdown hookup. Then he did a 180, sprinting back to
midfield and dodging his teammates who wanted to join in on the revelry like
they were Buffalo Bills' omcoming pass rushers. 



Mahomes dropped his helmet and wrapped his arms around another player on the
field. But it wasn't someone in red and gold. It was Josh Allen.

"A lot of respect for Pat. He throws the winning touchdown and he comes straight
over and finds me," Allen said after his Bills' crushing 42-36 overtime loss to
the Chiefs. "To be in that sutation and to do that, that was pretty cool of him
to do that."

Report card: Josh Allen's legendary effort wasted by defensive debacle against
Chiefs

Instant reactions: Bills suffer one of most gut-wrenching losses in history in
OT to Chiefs

Allen, who was specactular in the playoffs — he had nine touchdowns passes, 771
total yards and no turnovers in two games — never got a chance to touch the ball
in overtime. Kansas City won the coin toss and promptly drove 75 yards for the
win.  




Mahomes has been in Allen's cleats before. Three years ago, the New England
Patriots won the coin toss, marched 75 yards and won the AFC Championship Game
on the first possession of overtime to advance to the Super Bowl against the
Chiefs. Mahomes never got the ball in overtime. Tom Brady sought out Mahomes in
the Chiefs' locker room after the game to give him advice and encouragement. 



Allen and Mahomes put on a show, duking it out in a heavyweight fight that
deserved to be more than the second round of the playoffs. They combined to
complete 60 of 81 passes for 707 yards and seven touchdowns and each led their
team in rushing. It was the first playoff game in NFL history that both
quarterbacks had a passer rating of 123 points or higher. There were 25 points
scored in the final two minutes of regulation. 



NFL media members and fans on Twitter are calling Mahomes-Allen the new and
improved Brady-Manning rivalry. 

It's the second straight year the Bills' season has ended in the playoffs in
that stadium. Buffalo is 0-4 on the road in the playoffs under head coach Sean
McDermott.



Allen stayed on the field to see and feel the festivities at Arrowhead Stadium. 

"It sucks the way it happened. We wanted to win that game," Allen said. "I was
taking it all in and holding onto that feeling, making sure we don't feel like
this again. Back-to-back years in the same spot, it's tough to take in but it's
part of the game, part of the learning process."
