The Kansas City Chiefs are just two wins away from becoming the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. And their celebrity fan entourage received a big addition on Saturday.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 177 yards and a touchdown in a 23-12 victory over the Houston Texans in the divisional round to advance to the AFC Championship Game for the seventh straight season .
Mahomes took the field just days after welcoming his third child, daughter Golden Raye, who was born on January 12.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown with girlfriend Taylor Swift watching alongside WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
The Chiefs are the fourth team in NFL history to follow back-to-back Super Bowl victories by advancing to a conference title game, and the previous three teams have lost. The Chiefs will try to change that trend at Arrowhead Stadium next weekend against either the Bills or the Ravens, who play Sunday at Buffalo in an attempt to dethrone the defending champions.

Mahomes improved 16-3 in the postseason, tying Joe Montana for second in wins in NFL playoff history behind Tom Brady. Mahomes is 7-0 in the divisional round and helped Andy Reid become the fourth NFL coach with 300 career wins.

The Texans (11-8) have yet to win in six division games. They lost twice to Kansas City.
Houston quarterback CJ Stroud threw for 245 yards but was sacked eight times. Joe Mixon, who was questionable to play with an ankle injury, caught a few passes as he ran for 88 yards and a touchdown.
Texas kicker Kai’imi Fairbairn missed a 55-yard field goal attempt and an extra point try and saw another field goal attempt blocked with 1:46 remaining, which would have kept Houston’s comeback hopes alive in making it a one possession game.
