Chiefs narrowly defeat Browns, advance to AFC Championship

 

 The Kansas City Chiefs hung on to beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, 22-17, and advanced to the AFC Championship to play the Buffalo Bills.

The Chiefs needed to rely on backup quarterback Chad Henne to win the game.

Henne came in for Patrick Mahomes in the third quarter after the star quarterback was ruled out of the game when he appeared to hit his head hard on the ground trying to scramble for a first down. The backup would lead the Chiefs to a field goal on that drive but throw a terrible interception to Karl Joseph on the next.

Kansas City’s defense would step up and force the Browns to punt about midway through the fourth quarter. Cleveland would not get the ball again.

On 3rd-and-long with less than two minutes left in the game, Henne would scramble and get Kansas City within inches of a first down.

Henne would find Tyreek Hill on the following play to get the first down and seal the victory.
