Both teams came through their respective Conference runs relatively challenged.
For the Chiefs, a 23-14 Divisional Playoffs win against the Houston Texans set-up an enticing tussle with AFC Championship rivals Buffalo Bills.
The Bills, led by superstar quarter-back Josh Allen, were undone by the brilliance of Patrick Mahomes in the pocket and on the run.

As for fellow Super Bowl contender, Eagles, their path to the season finale was more smooth-sailing.
The franchise got through the Wild Card round before edging past the LA Rams and crushing the Jayden Daniels-led Washington Commanders 55-23.
As per, a lot is riding on the line for both sides. Mahomes and the Chiefs have a chance to become the first NFL side ever to win three championships in a row while the Eagles can double their titles – first won in 2018.
