BALTIMORE — The Kansas City Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs led by 10 points at halftime of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game and held on to defeat the Baltimore Ravens 17-10. The Chiefs will be heading to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the past five seasons.
The Chiefs scored touchdowns on each of their first two possessions. Patrick Mahomes was 29-of-38 for 209 yards with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce. Kelce had 11 catches for 116 yards and broke the NFL record for postseason receptions, finishing the game with 156. The record had been previously held by Jerry Rice (151).
The Chiefs will be seeking to be the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the 2004 New England Patriots.
Lamar Jackson accounted for two of three Baltimore turnovers. He threw 20 for 37 and 272 yards, but his interception proved to be critical late in the fourth quarter.
Isaiah Pacheco ran for 68 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown.
The Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers in two weeks.
