Internet detectives believe they’ve uncovered evidence that the Kansas City Chiefs surreptitiously trolled the Buffalo Bills with their uploads of the post-game press conferences after the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs outlasted the archrival Bills 32-29 at Arrrowhead Stadium to win their third straight AFC Championship Game, as well as their fifth in six years. The Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59, looking to complete the first three-peat ever.
A late Harrison Butker field goal put the Chiefs up by three with 3:33 remaining. Kansas City’s defense forced a turnover on downs after the two-minute warning, with Mahomes’ 17-yard completion to Samaje Perine icing the game.
Reddit user pawn_guy and several other fans on X/Twitter discovered something fascinating about the interviews by Mahomes, Chris Jones, head coach Andy Reid, GM Brett Veach and owner Clark Hunt following the AFC Championship Game.
That is, each video is exactly 3:33, the same amount of time remaining when the Bills started their last drive of the season. The 3:33 can also be interpreted as a symbol of the Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat.

This is diabolical 🤣 Bills had 3:33 left in the game to tie or win. Chiefs cut all their post game pressers to that exact time.
At first I was confused why they were all cut mid sentence as I listened through 💀 https://t.co/sw7nFVBeZN

If the Chiefs can pull off the three-peat, then 3:33 shall live on in Kansas City football lore forever. You know, similar to how 28-3 is fondly recalled by New England Patriots fans.
The 2024 AFC Championship Game Was An Instant Classic
The outcome was awfully predictable (this is Kansas City, after all), but the Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship Game did not disappoint. Both Mahomes and Josh Allen brought their A-games to Arrowhead Stadium, and the contest unsurprisingly came down to the wire.
It was yet another heartbreaker for Bills Mafia, alright. But at some point, you can’t help but think Allen and company are due to be on the right side of the bounces.
