Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday, January 26, the seventh straight appearance for the beloved NFL franchise since Mahomes became their starting quarterback.

Patrick Mahomes’ grandfather is in hospice care, the Chiefs quarterback’s mother, Randi Mahomes announced Friday. The news came just two days before the Chiefs host the Bills in the AFC Championship game Sunday. “My dad is in a hospice and I’m lost for words,” Randi wrote on her Instagram Story, including a photo of the father-daughter duo.

There isn't a contemporary NFL quarterback rivalry quite like Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes. While the MVP-level signal-callers don't play in the same division, they've made a habit of meeting in high-stakes contests.
