The Kansas City Chiefs clinched a spot in the AFC title game for the sixth straight season following their 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional round. Patrick Mahomes led the way with a pair of touchdown passes in the contest.

Next up for Mahomes and the Chiefs will be a clash with the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC title game. The two AFC powerhouse sides did not square off during the regular season.

Mahomes has kept an eye on the Ravens this year, and he sees quite a well-rounded squad.

"There is no weakness there," Mahomes told CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson after the Chiefs' win over the Bills. "It's going to take our best effort. Defense, offense, special teams. They do it all. It's always a great challenge. That stadium is going to be rocking."

Patrick Mahomes' previous encounters against the Ravens

Mahomes holds a 3-1 record against the Ravens in regular season play, and he has recorded 12 touchdown passes to go along with a 119.1 passer rating in such contests. He last met the Ravens in Week 2 of the 2021 season when he threw for 343 passing yards and three passing touchdowns, but the Ravens had the last laugh in the game thanks to a 36-35 win.

The Chiefs are aiming to secure a trip to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the Patrick Mahomes era. The Ravens, on the other hand, will look to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2012 season.
