Sports world reacts to Chiefs-Ravens AFC Championship Game - ESPN

The Kansas City Chiefs are on to Super Bowl LVIII after defeating the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship Game.

It's the second straight Super Bowl appearance and fourth in the last five years for the Chiefs, who are looking to become the first team to win consecutive Super Bowls since the New England Patriots did it in 2004 and 2005.

Down 17-7, the Ravens were close to scoring at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but receiver Zay Flowers fumbled while jumping to cross the goal line and the Chiefs recovered. Kansas City forced another turnover when safety Deon Bush intercepted Lamar Jackson with 6:45 remaining in the fourth.

Baltimore made it a one possession game after a Justin Tucker field goal with 2:34 left. But on the Chiefs' ensuing possession, Patrick Mahomes connected on a 32-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling on third-and-9 that secured the win for Kansas City.

Congratulatory messages poured in for the AFC's champs — even from the team's own social media account.
