The Chiefs had a promising drive going after a 22-yard reception by Travis Kelce to the Philadelphia 31.
But Mahomes under pressure from Ndamukong Suh on first down, threw the pass away. The Chiefs picked up 7 yards on a pass from Mahomes to running back Jerick McKinnon on second down, setting up third-and-three.
Mahomes looked like he could have run for the 3 yards but hesitated and nearly threw a pick to T.J. Edwards as he tried to hit Jody Fortson.
On fourth-and-three, the Chiefs opted to try the field goal, and Harrison Butker missed from 42 yards as the kick grazed the left upright. That leaves the teams tied 7-7.
Kelce already has three catches for 60 yards and a touchdown. The touchdown was the 16th of Kelce’s postseason career, breaking a tie with Rob Gronkowski for the most by a tight end in NFL history. Jerry Rice has the all-time record for receiving touchdowns with 22.
