The weekend of Jan. 19 the National Football League (NFL) held the Conference Championships for this year’s playoffs. The weekend was kicked off when the Tennessee Titans took on the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs came out on top, beating the Titans 35-24 to gain their way into Super Bowl LIV. Chief’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes ended the game throwing three touchdowns and running for another. The Chiefs held the top spot in the AFC West this season, and went into the game as a favorite. The Titans were a Wild Card team this year and had pushed their way through the Wild Card and Divisional Rounds. This was the Chiefs second consecutive year with a trip to the Conference Championship, but lost to the New England Patriots last year 37-31. Pushing their way past the AFC Championship this year, it will be the Chief’s first trip to the Super Bowl in 50 years.
