KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Patrick Mahomes threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Demarcus Robinson with just under two minutes left in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons to give Kansas City a three-point lead.
Then, the Chiefs watched as Pro Bowl kicker Younghoe Koo missed the tying field-goal with nine seconds left to give them a 17-14 win over Atlanta and the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.
The Chiefs (14-1) won their NFL-record seventh straight one-possession game and matched a franchise record with their 10th straight win. The Falcons (4-11) lost by six points or fewer for the seventh time this season.
The Chiefs conclude the regular season on Sunday, Jan. 3 when they host a divisional rival in the Los Angeles Chargers. Kickoff is set for 3:25 p.m. central.
Kelce breaks records
With seven receptions for 98 receiving yards in Sunday’s game, Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has accumulated 105 receptions for 1,416 receiving yards for the season - both career-highs. He becomes the first tight end in NFL history with multiple seasons of 100+ receptions in his career (2018 and 2020), while his 1,416 receiving yards are the most-ever by a tight end in NFL history.
