Former Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling helps send Chiefs to Super Bowl, again

Marquez Valdes-Scantling has become the closer for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC playoffs.

Last January, the former Green Bay Packers receiver caught six passes for a game-high 116 yards and a touchdown to help the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.

He wasn’t quite as productive during Sunday’s AFC Championship Game in Baltimore, but the Packers’ 2018 draft pick delivered the dagger play when he caught a 32-yard pass from Mahomes on 3rd-and-9 before the two-minute warning, allowing the Chiefs to kill the rest of the clock and beat the Ravens.
