Toney had one reception for 14 yards and returned three punts for 23 yards.

Toney has enjoyed a career renaissance since his midseason trade from the Giants. New York selected Toney with the No. 20 pick overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. He played in just 10 games for the Giants before they traded him to the Chiefs in October.

Toney played in seven regular-season games for the Chiefs, pulling in 14 receptions for 171 yards and two touchdowns.

He and the Chiefs await the winner of the Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills AFC Divisional Playoff game on Sunday.
