Sunday’s game in Baltimore will mark the first time in six years that the AFC Championship game will be decided somewhere other than Kansas City, where Mahomes and Co. have been so successful in recent years, considering the team’s three wins in the last six years – since 2018 – at this stage of the play-offs.
What’s more is that this weekend’s AFC Championship game will mark the first time the Chiefs have gone on the road for a conference title game since Jan. 23, 1994, when Joe Montana was the quarterback and they lost 30-13 in Buffalo.

‘I didn’t think much of going on the road, that it would be very different. We do it during the season,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “It was a great environment there (in Buffalo) to play, even though they were against you.
‘It’s real football here, they love their team and are passionate. It’s a great environment. That’s how I look at it.’
However, winning a conference title game on the road isn’t exactly an easy endeavor. Home teams are 35-18 in NFC title games and 36-17 in the AFC championship game, where the Chiefs have gone 3-2 in the past five games played in Kansas City.
