We’re out of adjectives to describes Mahomes’ greatness. Just when you thought he couldn’t make a more jaw-dropping play than this 20-yard touchdown strike, he makes one of the best plays of the NFL season.

Mahomes needed just one half to become the first Chiefs player to throw multiple touchdowns and rush for a score in a postseason game. He returned after halftime and kept picking the Titans defense apart. The Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl, and Mahomes is playing at a level that might help them win it all.

The Chiefs provided Henry with bulletin-board material this week. After rushing for 377 yards against two of the NFL’s best defenses, Henry seemed to disappear after being called out. When the Titans needed him the most, the 6-foot-3 running back came up small.

He rushed for 32 yards and a score on Tennessee’s first two drives. Following those eight carries, Henry struggled to rack up 37 yards and averaged 3.3 yards per carry. Once Kansas City jumped out to a two-score lead, Henry’s inability to contribute on passing downs proved costly. Henry’s incredible run in December and into the postseason was fun to watch, but he crashed hard in the AFC Championship Game.

Hill made headlines for all the wrong reasons before the game. Fortunately, he backed up his pregame gesture with a dominant first-half performance. He helped snap Kansas City’s offense out of its cold spell early with a lightning-quick touchdown. Tennessee didn’t learn its lesson.

Then Hill’s ridiculous speed helped him create just enough separation over the middle and haul in his second touchdown of the half. While he might not have posted breathtaking numbers, he made his opportunities count. We can’t wait to see what the Chiefs draw up for Hill with two weeks to prepare for the Super Bowl.

Loser: Bashaud Breeland, Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are celebrating right now, but Breeland is the reason this game wasn’t an even bigger blowout. When the game was tight and the Chiefs needed a spark, Breeland’s two gaffes proved costly early.

Defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon racked up two sacks, and defensive tackle Mike Pennel came up with huge stops against Henry. The Titans came into this game with their offensive line dominating opponents, but the Chiefs simply overpowered them. If this entire unit can be healthy for the Super Bowl, they will do serious damage against whomever they face.

Tannehill deserves plenty of credit for how well he played this season. However, it also can’t be ignored that the Titans hit their ceiling with him at quarterback. Once this game turned into a shootout, Tennessee’s offense was exposed with the game on Tannehill’s shoulders.

NFL conference championship winners and losers: Raheem Mostert goes from undrafted to 49ers hero

While Raheem Mostert was a star for the San Francisco 49ers, the Titans' backfield duo of Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry faces an uncertain future.

They lost in overtime to the Patriots last year at Arrowhead Stadium, a disappointing end Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has totaled only 160 passing yards and 29 passing attempts in the victories over the Patriots and Ravens.

The winner will face the N.F.C. champion in Super Bowl LIV. Las Vegas set the over /under for the game at 52.5 — six points higher than the prediction for the N.F.C. championship game — and considering that the teams combined for 67 points in Week 10, that number could easily push higher.

He threw for 209 yards with two touchdowns. While the numbers are solid, he also benefited from multiple dropped interceptions and Kansas City playing a prevent defense in the final minutes. Tannehill will still get paid this offseason, but the Titans hit their peak with him.

Winner: Andy Reid, Kansas City Chiefs

Everyone’s favorite NFL coach is going back to the Super Bowl. After years of being haunted by some poor decisions, especially in key moments, Reid’s team executed everything in this game. Reid didn’t panic when the offense struggled early, he stuck to his plan and trusted in Mahomes.

This team, fan base and coaching staff went through so much heartbreak last year, but it’s all worth it now. The Lamar Hunt Trophy is now headed home. Reid and the Chiefs are headed to Super Bowl LIV with a great shot at bringing a title back to Kansas City.
