Who helped get the KC Chiefs to their second straight Super Bowl? Let’s take a look at the 10 best performers in Sunday’s win over the Bills. 

The Kansas City Chiefs are heading back to the Super Bowl and they punched their ticket with a 38-24 win over the Bills. People have been crushing on the Bills all season long but when push came to shove, the Chiefs showed that they were still the top dogs in the AFC.

It took some incredible performances for the reigning Super Bowl champs to get an opportunity to run it back and for the first time this season, I’ve compiled a list of 10 star performances from the most recent game. Let’s check out the top performers from the AFC Championship Game.

KC Chiefs Star Performances – No. 10: Tanoh Kpassagnon

The Chiefs had four sacks on Josh Allen, so I’ve made sure to include every player who was able to take down the Bills’ elusive quarterback. Tanoh Kpassagnon was one of those players, sacking Allen late in the game when it was seemingly out of reach.

Kpassagnon was a puzzling selection back in 2017 (he was taken in the second round; any guesses as to who the Chiefs took in round one?) but he’s been a nice rotational piece for this team. He’ll be hitting free agency this spring and it’d be nice to see the Chiefs retain him, but with how well Kpassagnon’s been playing, that doesn’t seem to be the likeliest of scenarios.

KC Chiefs Star Performances – No. 9: Rashad Fenton

Since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Rashad Fenton has been an incredible depth piece for the Kansas City Chiefs. He came into his own late last season and has continued to play well in his sophomore season.

On Sunday, Fenton had the lone interception of the game, picking off Allen in the third quarter. L’Jarius Sneed had just gotten injured and left the game, which put Fenton into the action in his place. Right away, he made a difference and gave his team the ball back.
