Sunday night's AFC Championship Game was a glimpse into the future of the conference, a battle between a pair of immensely talented young quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills. I wrote earlier in the week that we could be looking at the beginning of the next great rivalry at the 's most important position.
Instead of a back-and-forth duel between a pair of young gunslingers, we were treated to the starkest of reminders that while Allen and the Bills are an ascending young team, the Chiefs are the best team not only in the AFC but also in the NFL.
