Kansas City head out on the road for a playoff game for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era having won four of their last five games.
The Chiefs endured a rough run of form when they returned from the bye week in late November, losing four times during a six-game spell.
They steadied the ship before the end of the regular season though, winning three of their final four games.
Kansas City beat New England 27-17, and then bounced back from a 20-14 loss to Las Vegas with victories over Cincinnati, 25-17, and the Los Angeles Chargers, 13-12.
The Chiefs then produced their best performance for several weeks as they beat Miami 26-7 in the Wildcard round of the playoffs.
