They have to go to Baltimore and take down the No. 1 seed Ravens in front of a hostile crowd. ADVERTISEMENT After hosting the last five AFC championship games, the Chiefs finished with the No. 3 seed so they didnt get a bye or home-field advantage. They shut down Miami at home in the wild-card round and stunned Bills Mafia in Buffalo last week to advance.Now, its on to Baltimore for Mahomes second career playoff game outside Arrowhead Stadium except for three Super Bowls.Road teams are 35-71 in conference championship games. Bradys teams own four of those wins. Brady was 4-3 DeAndre Jordan Jersey with the Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road in conference title games. Each of those four wins, including one over Mahomes and the Chiefs in 2019, led to a Super Bowl victory.Mahomes proved against the Bills he can lead his team to a tough win as an underdog in a harsh environment. He has to do it again Sunday to really have a shot at making a run at Bradys seven rings.Mahomes and coach Andy Reid have won two Super Bowls together in their first six seasons. Brady and Bill Belichick won six in 20 years.Weve still got a long way to go, Mahomes said. They did it for 20 years. All we can do is take it year in, year out, week in, week out and Buck Williams Jersey every single day. Thats the long goal, to win that many championships and bring those titles to this organization, but all we can do is focus on the Ravens this week and thats what were trying to do.Mahomes is only 28. Brady won his third Super Bowl at age 27 but didnt get his fourth until 10 years later.Sure, Mahomes should have plenty of opportunities left even he doesnt play until hes 45 like Brady did. But getting to this point isnt easy. There are no guarantees. Mahomes already is lacking a true No. 1 wide receiver. Its unknown how much longer hell have star tight end Travis Kelce, who is 34.And, the AFC West just became much more competitive. The Los Angeles Chargers hired Jim Harbaugh on Wednesday, pairing a proven winner with a franchise quarterback in Justin Herbert. No doubt Harbaugh has his sight set on ending Kansas Citys eight-year run of dominance in the Landry Shamet Jersey division.Thats why the Chiefs have to take advantage of this opportunity. Theyre two wins away from another parade. These are the hardest two wins of all but theyre within reach.This wasnt Mahomes best season. Statistically, he had a career-low pa ser rating. He didnt get much help from his receivers, who led the NFL with 44 drops. But this is when the greats step it up.Pat is a perfectionist, and hes competitive, Reid said. Hes as competitive as any of us right here and more so. He wants it right around him, but hes willing to teach which thats the unique part hes willing to share what he sees with the guys from his sight and help the guys get into position. As long as the guys are willing to work, hes all in. Thats what I saw Tyler Johnson Jersey , and the frustration is more off of feeling urgency and winning games. I mean thats what hes all about. Im not sure there was a frustration other than, Hey, lets go. Were playing at the highest level in the world, and if youre going to be as good as we think were going to be, then our error margin is like this big (small gesture) so youve got to tighten it down.Kansas City has its best defensive unit during Mahomes career so he has help, even if its not the guys catching his pa ses. The Patriots relied more on their defense for their first three titles.Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolos unit, anchored by All-Pro tackle Chris Jones, was one of the best in the league, allowing the second-fewest points in the NFL. The Ravens were the stingiest.When he was the with the New York Giants, Spagnuolo devised a scheme that shut down Brady, Randy Mo s and the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl 16 years Spencer Dinwiddie Jersey ago. He has to find a way to slow down All-Pro QB Lamar Jackson.Its challenging, the way hes able to just be a competitor and just score the football obviously, Mahomes said about Jackson. Then, their entire team, its a tall task. You have to go out there and play your best football, and if you make any mistakes, it seems like the games going to go the other way.The Ravens dominated top teams throughout the season, especially down the stretch. Mahomes cant let that happen to the Chiefs.Theyre still working on their dynasty.___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter at ___AP NFL: and
