Baltimore will host the AFC title game for the first time since 1971, and it’ll be a matchup for the ages when Lamar Jackson squares off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Kansas City defeated Buffalo 27-24 in the first road playoff win for Mahomes, and it sets up a matchup of two recent NFL MVPs.
In CBS interview, Patrick Mahomes on playing Lamar Jackson and Ravens in AFC Championship Game: "There is no weakness there. It's going to take our best effort. Defense, offense, special teams. They do it all. It's always a great challenge. That stadium is going to be rocking."

The Chiefs will travel to M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday at 3:00 PM EST in a matchup to see the winner advance to the Super Bowl after Mahomes went 17-23 passing for 215 yards and two touchdowns.
Second-year running back Isaiah Pacheco paced Kansas City with 15 physical carries for 97 yards (6.5) and a critical touchdown. Travis Kelce had five catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns on a night when rumors swirled about his potential retirement.
Kansas City and Baltimore previously met in the postseason following the 2010 season.
