Since Mahomes has brought his team back from double digit deficits this post-season, I looked at every conference final game since 1966 to see if any other teams have been in this similar situation and advanced to the super bowl. The results are as follows:
1994 Chargers trailed by 10 points to the Steelers and won - lost to the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
1998 Broncos trailed by 10 points to the Jets and won - defeated the Falcons in the Super Bowl.
1998 Falcons trailed by 13 points to the Vikings and won - lost to the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
2006 Colts trailed 18 points to the Patriots and won - defeated the Bears in the Super Bowl.
2009 Colts trailed by 11 points to the Jets and won - lost to the Saints in the Super Bowl.
2012 49ers trailed by 17 points to the Falcons and won - lost to the Ravens in the Super Bowl.
2013 Seahawks trailed by 10 points to the 49ers and won - defeated the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
2014 Seahawks trailed by 16 points to the Packers and won - lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
2017 Patriots trailed by 11 points to the Jaguars and won - lost to the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
2018 Rams trailed by 13 points to the Saints and won - lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
2019 Chiefs trailed by 10 points to the Titans and won -
And since the Chiefs also trailed by double digits in their divisional game and won I checked to see if any other teams fell into those parameters. Just one.
1994 Chargers - trailed by 11 points to the Dolphins in the divisional round and won and then trailed by 10 points to the Steelers in the conference finals and won - lost to the 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Do with that information what you will.
