Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs rally to win, secure yet another AFC West championship

The Kansas City Chiefs ran their streak of AFC West championships to five in defeating the Miami Dolphins 33-27 on Sunday.

The Chiefs last week clinched a playoff berth by beating the Denver Broncos. Their next regular-season goal is to secure the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed and the first-round postseason bye.

The 12-1 Chiefs are batting the 11-1 Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC's top seed.

The Chiefs, who began in 1960 as the AFL's Dallas Texans, had never won back-to-back division championships until the current streak, which began in 2016.
