text: In the Divisional round of the playoffs, Kansas City faced a rematch against the Houston Texans, falling behind 24–0 in the second quarter. However, the Chiefs then scored 41 unanswered points, including 28 in the second quarter, on the way to crushing the Texans 51–31. It was the first time in NFL postseason history that a team came back from a deficit of 20 or more points to win by 20 or more points. The Chiefs then faced a rematch against the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship game. They once again found themselves behind early as Tennessee took a 10–0 lead, but Kansas City took the lead by halftime, thanks to two passing touchdowns from Mahomes to Tyreek Hill and a Mahomes touchdown run. The Chiefs ultimately won 35–24, avenging another regular season loss and clinching their first Super Bowl appearance in 50 years.
  In Super Bowl LIV, the Chiefs were down 20–10 in the 4th quarter only to come back and win 31–20 to get their first Super Bowl in 50 years and second Super Bowl overall. Patrick Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP for his 285-yard, 2-TD performance.

This did not matter much, however, as the Chiefs used their first-round draft pick on star LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
