During the postseason, the Chiefs the Houston Texans on January 18 to advance to the championship game after winning a bye week. Meanwhile, the Bills beat the Denver Broncos and the Baltimore Ravens on January 12 and January 19, respectively, to earn their spot in the championship game against the Chiefs.

“Next year in New Orleans, we’re going to do it again,” Mahomes said on the “Impaulsive With Logan Paul” podcast in May 2024. “I’m putting it on the table. We’re going to do it again. I’m telling you now.”

As for Allen, he emphasized his own Super Bowl dream in a 2024 press conference, telling reporters about his plans for this season, “There’s one job to do and that’s win a Super Bowl.”
