The Patriots' Tom Brady won his first two playoff matchups against Peyton Manning before losing the final three in the only QB rivalry with five postseason meetings. Brady split four matchups with Baltimore's Joe Flacco with the Patriots and Ravens alternating wins in those matchups that came in a span of six seasons.

Mahomes and Allen have a 4-4 head-to-head record, but Mahomes boasts a 3-0 postseason record against his counterpart. Their most recent encounter saw the Chiefs narrowly beat the Bills 27-24, thanks in part to a missed game-tying field goal by Tyler Bass.
