For years, the tier of quarterback rivalry that Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen has now crossed into remained reserved for Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. <\/p>\n
For those Patriots and Colts \u2014 and then Patriots and Broncos \u2014 showdowns. <\/p>\n
For the six-game streak by Brady to start their head-to-head, the comeback in January 2007 that changed everything and all of the unpredictable duels that followed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Allen and Mahomes slowly crept toward that point with three postseason meetings and five regular-season clashes. <\/p>\n
They aren\u2019t the only superstar quarterbacks in the NFL, but each matchup carried a certain weight, a certain aura, a certain expectation for unexpected chaos that others haven\u2019t matched. <\/p>\n
The pair will collide in the AFC Championship game at Arrowhead Stadium, with Kansas City needing a win to keep its bid for a three-peat alive and Buffalo needing a victory to get back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 1993 season in search of its first title.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But really, this is just Part IV of Allen-Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs. This is just Part IX of Allen-Mahomes since 2020. This is the latest chapter in what has become Brady-Manning 2.0.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the eyes of Allen, the stacking of showdowns with the Chiefs turned an instance such as Sunday into a glorified \u201cdivision game.\u201d <\/p>\n
With their fourth playoff meeting, Allen and Mahomes will sit just one shy of matching the record held by Brady and Manning. <\/p>\n
At 29 and 28 years old, respectively, they only need eight more matchups across the rest of their career to hit the frequency of the Brady-Manning rivalry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like we\u2019ve played them just as much as we\u2019ve played the guys in our division, and with that comes familiarity,\u201d Allen told reporters this week. \u201cNew wrinkles here and there throughout the game. But they know who we are. We know who they are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even with Allen (2,063 yards, 17 passing touchdowns, four interceptions) and Mahomes (2,220 yards, 18 touchdowns, seven interceptions) possessing near-identical stats against each other, there are some distinctions between the rivalries. <\/p>\n
It took Manning six tries before he eventually defeated Brady and the Patriots in any setting. <\/p>\n
It took until the AFC Championship game during the 2006 season \u2014 five years after their first matchup \u2014 for Manning to earn his first postseason win against New England.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Allen hasn\u2019t defeated Mahomes in the playoffs, but he has gone 4-1 during the regular season, including a Week 11 win this season punctuated by an acrobatic 26-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n
But Mahomes has triumphed on the biggest stages and dished out plenty of heartbreak, starting in 2021 when he orchestrated a masterful outing with 325 yards and three touchdowns as the Chiefs defeated the Bills, 38-24, in the conference title game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One year later in the divisional round, Allen and Mahomes produced one of the best games in playoff history. <\/p>\n
They combined for 707 passing yards, seven touchdowns and zero interceptions. <\/p>\n
Twenty-four points were scored after the two-minute warning, with the final three following a three-play, 44-yard drive by the Chiefs that forced overtime and led to the \u201c13-second\u201d label. <\/p>\n
And when Mahomes connected with Travis Kelce on the game-winning touchdown in the extra frame and the Bills lost without even touching the ball, it directly led to the league revisiting its overtime rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, a season passed without Allen and Mahomes overlapping in the playoffs. <\/p>\n
The Bills defeated the Chiefs during the 2022 regular season but then lost against the Bengals before what would\u2019ve been a rematch in the AFC Championship game. <\/p>\n
Instead, the latest postseason chapter of the rivalry needed to wait until January 2024, when Allen only managed to throw for 186 yards and the Bills failed to force overtime when Tyler Bass\u2019 late field goal sailed right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just have to know you\u2019re gonna have to play your best football,\u201d Mahomes told reporters this week. \u201cI mean, I\u2019ve played against Josh enough times to know that he\u2019s gonna come out there and play great football, especially in those big moments. \u2026 And when you go up against a great quarterback, it takes your best as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mahomes has inherited Brady\u2019s role amid his chase for Super Bowl history. <\/p>\n
Allen is still waiting for his version of Manning\u2019s comeback game to break through in the playoffs. <\/p>\n
For the first playoff matchup or two, the rivalry was budding. A work in progress. <\/p>\n
Then, after the Chiefs\u2019 13-second comeback, there was no question one existed \u2014 and no question there\u2019d be plenty of future matchups on these stages, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sunday, nine years after Manning escaped against Brady in what turned out to be their final meeting, will just mark the latest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
