My dad is in hospice, and I'm lost for words.

Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City Chiefs on the verge of making NFL history

There have been not many teams who have won back-to-back championships in the league and none of them have managed to win the Super Bowl thrice, but Kansas City Chiefs are just two games away from creating history.

Only the San Francisco 49ers team of 1990 came close in the NFL history. They won the league in 1988 and 1989, but in the 1990 NFC Championship game, they lost to the New York Giants.

According to the odds, the Kansas City Chiefs are 2.5 points favorites against the Buffalo Bills.
