Two main factors are in favor of the Buffalo Bills beating the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the AFC championship game. These factors can be broken down to strategy and supporting cast.
In comparing the statistics of the past four games between the Bills and the Chiefs, a pattern developed that reveals a Chiefs vulnerability − their rushing attempts and rushing yards.

The Bills won both regular-season matchups − most recently on Nov. 17, by a convincing score. In that game, the Bills out-rushed the Chiefs with 31 attempts for 104 yards and three touchdowns, compared to just 17 rushes for the Chiefs for 78 yards and no touchdowns. This led to a time-of-possession advantage of 34:03 to 25:57, as well as more offensive plays (71-52). Additionally, the Bills won the turnover differential at plus-1, as Patrick Mahomes threw two interceptions.

The Chiefs had four regular-season games in which they rushed the football 19 or fewer times for less than 100 yards (against the Bills, the Broncos twice and the Raiders). They went a very lucky 2-2. They defeated the Broncos by blocking a 35-yard field-goal attempt as time expired. Their other win, against the Raiders, was an inexplicable silent-count snap snafu that resulted in a fumble that the Chiefs recovered. This occurred as the Raiders were in position to kick a game-winning field goal.



The Chiefs are excellent at surviving these situations and winning one-score games. However, it remains true that the Chiefs are exposed and more vulnerable in each of the games in which they had 19 or fewer rushing attempts and fewer than 100 yards rushing.

The Chiefs are a tricky and slippery team that can defy the statistical norms.


Let’s look at the AFC divisional playoff game from last year, in which Buffalo lost at home to the Chiefs while dominating the game statistically.

Jan. 21, 2024 • AFC divisional playoffs

CategoryBillsChiefs (Won)
Rushing39 for 182 yards, 2 TDs22 for 146 yards, 1 TD
Time of Possession37:0322:57

The Bills out-rushed the Chiefs 182-146. They also won the time of possession 37:03 to 22:57, and the turnover differential at plus-1, which, theoretically, should have given them an 80% chance of winning.


So, how did they lose this game? Allen’s supporting cast, a missed field goal in the fourth quarter that would have tied the score and the Chiefs’ 22 rushes for 146 yards.

This playoff game unmasked a glaring shortcoming that the Bills have since addressed – the explosiveness and production of the supporting cast.
The Bills have upgraded in every spot that was questionable in that game. This is especially true at receiver. At times in 2023, Allen routinely forced the ball to Stefon Diggs, leading to more turnovers, overall. In this playoff game, it allowed the Chiefs to focus on minimizing Diggs without the threat of other receivers making up the difference.


The receiver position upgrades since this loss have been substantial, including Mack Hollins, Amari Cooper, Curtis Samuel, Keon Coleman and more time on the field for Khalil Shakir. The upgraded personnel with Hollins, Samuel, Cooper and Coleman accounted for a total of 111 receptions for 1,484 yards and 12 touchdowns.


Compare that to Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty, who combined for 26 receptions, 236 yards and 2 touchdowns. When you add the production of Davis, Shakir, Harty, and Sherfield together, they equaled 107 receptions for 1,593 yds for 11 touchdowns. The receptions were equal to Diggs. This was the problem.

*Gabe Davis did not play in the Divisional Playoff loss to the Chiefs.

In the playoff loss to the Chiefs, Deonte Harty had one reception for 3 yards, and Trent Sherfield had one reception for 7 yards. When you combine that with Diggs’ three receptions for 21 yards, you get an underperforming passing game, brought on by the supporting cast's inability to win in man-to-man situations.
The receivers Allen will have on the field Sunday are more consistent, more physical and more explosive in man-to-man coverage situations. The Bills’ "everybody eats" mentality means Allen has evenly distributed the ball among his receivers, making it impossible to stop everyone at the same time.

The Chiefs simply will not be able to focus on any one player, as Allen now has game-changing weapons at every receiver position. This will be troublesome for the Chiefs, who, by necessity, must be concerned about the Bills' potent rushing attack.


Upgrades at the running back position

The Bills have also upgraded at the running back position, as Ray Davis has taken the place of Latavius Murray and Damien Harris. Davis’ hard-nosed style as an inside runner, combined with his durability, have proven to be a valuable upgrade when teamed with a rotation of James Cook and Ty Johnson.

Statistically, Davis has replaced the combined rushing production of Harris and Murray, while Cook has exploded with 14 more rushing touchdowns, reducing the overall load on Allen.


On the offensive line, the Bills improved their physicality when Mitch Morse was not re-signed. Morse was a less physical run blocker than Connor McGovern, who moved over from left guard. This adjustment paved the way for punishing run-blocker David Edwards to take over at left guard. This quiet shuffle has made the Bills a better rushing team. They have rushed for 10 more rushing touchdowns this season, ranking first in the NFL in that category in 2024.

To add to these factors, in last year's divisional playoff loss, the Bills played without linebackers Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard. This, too, will be a personnel upgrade from Tyrel Dodson and A.J. Klein, who struggled to contain Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Allen’s supporting cast is healthy and improved heading into this playoff game, which is great news for coach Sean McDermott, who is 0-3 against the Chiefs in the postseason, despite having seven career playoff victories.
Remarkably, Mahomes and the Chiefs have not committed a turnover since their loss to the Bills on Nov. 17. Equally impressive is the Bills’ plus-27 turnover differential in all 19 games this season.

Conclusion

Both of these superstar quarterbacks, Allen and Mahomes, have the talent and ability to make a play to win this game. Should the Bills protect the football, out-rush the Chiefs and win time of possession (which they have done in three of the past four meetings), the upgraded supporting cast of the Bills will be the difference.


The Chiefs have an excellent defense, ranked fourth in the NFL in points against. In last week's divisional-round win against the Texans, they blitzed quarterback C.J. Stround on 16 of 41 dropbacks, sacking Stroud eight times.

The Chiefs also blitzed Allen in their first meeting on 16 of 45 dropbacks. They want to create chaos, but they will struggle to accomplish this consistently if they are forced to stop the Buffalo rushing attack.

The tactical offensive formula for the Bills continues to be rushing the football, winning turnover margin and time of possession and third-down efficiency.

Winning these categories will do two things to affect the Chiefs. First, it will minimize Allen’s exposure to a chaotically blitzing defense. Second, and perhaps more importantly, it results in minimizing the Chiefs’ plays, their rushing attempts and their rushing yardage.

If the Chiefs have less time to score, they will be less likely to run the ball greater than 19 times, which is the theoretical threshold that can hold them under 100 yards rushing.


These are not the Bills of 2023. The 2024 Bills have a proven strategy, and now Allen is executing it at a championship level with better personnel surrounding him.


This is the winning combination of strategy and supporting cast that may dethrone the mighty Chiefs.

During the Buffalo Bills’ playoff drought, ESPN anchor Kevin Connors used to have a running joke on air. Connors, a lifelong Bills fan from Long Island, would refer to the Bills as America’s Team. It would elicit a laugh from his co-anchor, one baked in sympathy for Connors and the other fans enduring the slog of 6-10 and 7-9 seasons.

Now, though? Connors looks like he was on to something.

“They really have kind of become America’s team,” Connors said this week ahead of Buffalo’s latest playoff clash with the Kansas City Chiefs.

“America loves the story of it. America loves an underdog, but I think they really respect a team that has been there, was bad forever, built it up, gotten pretty good and just keeps getting up off the mat. There’s a level of respect for that.”

It’s not easy to quantify the country’s rooting interest in any particular postseason. BetOnline attempts to do so based on geotagged data from X posts to see how many posts with the official team hashtags are coming from each state. Earlier in the playoffs, their data showed that half of the states in the country were rooting for the Detroit Lions, another franchise that hasn’t ever reached the mountaintop. But the Washington Commanders, a feel-good story in their own right, eliminated the Lions last week. The other remaining NFC team is the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that has won a Super Bowl recently and has a fan base that doesn’t have the coziest reputation. And then there’s the Chiefs, who have won two straight Super Bowls and three of the last four. The Bills are the only team left in the field without a Super Bowl win.

When BetOnline re-ran the data after the conference championships were set, it showed two-thirds of the country is pulling for the Bills. That’s not an exact science, but it makes anecdotal sense.

“People get tired of seeing the same thing over and over,” said Bills guard Conor McGovern, who played for the Dallas Cowboys, the team traditionally referred to as America’s team. “That’s probably why people are rooting for us. They see us as the underdog.”

The Bills aren’t exactly David against Goliath. They’ve been to the playoffs six straight seasons, won a playoff game in five straight seasons and have three 13-win seasons in their last six. Josh Allen is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and arguably the most exciting to watch.

But this is also a team and a fan base that has been repeatedly kicked in the shins. Forget about the four straight Super Bowl losses in the 1990s or even the 17-season playoff drought, both gut-wrenching in their own ways. Throw out the fact that this region, one of the smallest markets in professional sports, has never experienced a Super Bowl or a Stanley Cup championship. Even without that history as a backdrop, this version of the Bills has built up its own scar tissue. As the Bills became a fixture in national television games in recent years, their lowest moments were on display for the football-watching public. The football world felt the collective anguish of a fan base during Buffalo’s 13-seconds loss to Kansas City. Home playoff losses to the Cincinnati Bengals and Chiefs in the divisional round the last two seasons have made it easy for people outside of Buffalo to wonder how fans keep getting back up.

And all of that on-field sorrow seems trivial when you consider the non-football adversity the team and community have endured. In 2022, the country rallied around the Bills when Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and nearly died. That same year Buffalo endured tragedy when a racist shooter murdered 10 people and wounded three others at a supermarket in the city’s east side. A devastating Christmas blizzard left 47 people dead in 2022. Too often, the country’s window into Buffalo is centered around struggle.

The Bills have a chance to change that like they did for three hours on Sunday during a thrilling divisional round win against the Baltimore Ravens. More than 42 million people tuned in for what turned into a party at Highmark Stadium. Fans who had been in the parking lots tailgating since the early morning hours finished their night with a vintage Buffalo celebration first in the stadium and then in those same parking lots.

Earlier that week, a Baltimore radio personality called Buffalo, “a city of losers.” After the game, Bills coach Sean McDermott gritted his teeth at the mention of it and delivered an impassioned defense of his adopted hometown.

“It’s a city of winners, it really is,” he said. “These people in this town are winners. I’ve been here just eight years but I consider this my hometown. This place is different and the people here are different. They deserve more than whoever said that about them.”



Bills safety Micah Hyde started this season on the outside looking in while pondering his playing future. Sitting at home in San Diego gave him a different perspective on how much people outside of Buffalo are pulling for the Bills.

“I think it’s been like that for a while now,” Hyde said. “We’ve been so close to getting over the hump.”

Hyde has also seen this story evolve. He arrived in 2017 as one of the first signings in Sean McDermott’s tenure as head coach. He’s been through every high and low with this regime. He made his career and a home away from home here. And this season, he decided to return as a member of the team’s practice squad to do whatever he could to help this team get across the finish line. Hyde’s son likes to watch highlight videos of his dad before he goes to bed. And those videos make it hit home for Hyde just how far the Bills have come.

“There were some highlights from 2017, it was a home game and there was hardly anybody in the stands,” Hyde said. “To see the organization from where it was to where it is now, it’s two totally different things and it’s honestly really cool to see. That’s why I felt like coming back was a no-brainer. I wanted to be a part of this. I was able to see it from when it was, honestly, a dumpster fire, it was terrible when we first got here, to where it is now. We’re one of the pinnacle places in the league to be a part of.”

Buffalo as one of the pinnacle places in the NFL is more than lip service to the players in the locker room. The word love is frequent in players’ vocabulary. Love for each other. Love for the game. And love for the community.

“We’re literally like the core of the community,” McGovern said. “It’s all intertwined here. I don’t think there’s a better thing in football than that.”

Or as Hyde put it, “It’s a homegrown team. Everyone sees it as an organization run by good people with good people in the organization, a very good quarterback and a small-town kind of feel. This is America in a nutshell if you want to talk about it.”

Defensive tackle Jordan Phillips is on his third stint with the Bills. His first was in 2018 and 2019. He came back in 2022 for two seasons. Most recently, he started this season with the Cowboys and was released in November. The Bills picked him up. Every time it’s been a no-brainer to return.

“It’s everything,” Phillips said. “It’s all the appreciation you get. I can do what I want to do. I can wear my coat out there. It’s just fun. The people around us rally with it. Why wouldn’t you want to come back? Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of this? The destination wasn’t so much of a destination but now it is. I think that’s the best way to say it. That speaks to the team and the community around it. When you come here you’re like, ‘S—.’ But when you’re here, you’re like, ‘Oh yeah, this is it.’”

Phillips would know about destination cities. He’s played in some of the league’s biggest markets like Arizona, Miami, New York and Dallas. The more he bounced around, though, Phillips realized how much different Buffalo is. The weather and the nightlife don’t make a destination. In those bigger places, Phillips said there was almost too much other stuff to do and teammates didn’t all live close together. Hanging out away from the facility was rare. In Buffalo, there’s stuff to do but it’s usually stuff the team is doing together.

“You have a bigger bond,” Phillips said. “It’s college vibes. It takes special people and special management to be able to build something like this. Because even before Sean and them got here it wasn’t like this. It does take the people but once you get the right people and the right personnel to buy into what you’ve got going and then you’ve got an MVP quarterback, this is what you can get.”

This week, as Allen was speaking to reporters, mounds of snow left behind by another lake-effect snowstorm were behind him on the practice field. The temperature dipped and had approached zero. That weather may deter some players from entertaining Buffalo, but it’s helped this group of players find their identity individually and collectively.

“It’s kind of hard to put into words but typically when people think of Buffalo they think of what’s going on right now with the snow and the cold,” Allen said. “You have to be pretty tough to be in a place like this. We feel like we have guys in this locker room that maybe haven’t gotten all the recognition they deserve, coming here on the last leg of their career and just coming here trying to prove something to not just the world but to themselves.”

That’s part of what makes it believable to think two-thirds of the country could be pulling for the Bills the rest of the way. But even if so many people are behind them, that doesn’t change the underdog feeling the Bills are trying to harness. Phillips quickly pointed out the lack of Bills on the All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams. In his eyes, Buffalo will never get the recognition it deserves.

“That’s not what this is about here,” he said. “It sucks because guys don’t get the national attention that they deserve. But the community gives you so much more. You’re loved here, you know what I’m saying? It’s almost like you’re legends damn near. At the end of the day, that’s all you really need.”

A lot of players on the Bills mention that they’ve deleted social media. So they don’t necessarily notice how much the bandwagon might be filling up. They also know it has a lot to do with the simple fact that the Chiefs have won. Repeatedly. Some fans may complain about the perception that the Chiefs get favorable calls or that Taylor Swift appears on the broadcast too often. But the root of it all is the Chiefs have been standing in the way of the entire league.

Bills tight end Dawson Knox is a Star Wars fan, so he smiled at the comparison of the Chiefs to the Evil Empire.

“We’ll take the extra fans but our fan base as it is we don’t need to add anybody else to make us feel good,” Knox said. “I always view us as the good guys and them as the bad guys, whoever we’re playing.”

During a meeting before the Bills’ game against the Ravens, coaches showed a video of talking heads disparaging the Bills for one reason or another. They leaned heavily on the underdog role. External motivation shouldn’t be needed this time around. Despite a 4-1 record against the Chiefs in the regular season since Allen and Patrick Mahomes took over, Buffalo is 0-3 in the playoffs against Kansas City. That, and a potential trip to the Super Bowl, are motivation enough.

“It’s like when you’re a little kid and you’re tired of your big brother beating your ass all the time,” Phillips said. “If you want to be the king you have to take the kings out.”

Regardless of how it ends, it’s clear this Bills team isn’t the same one Connors used to jokingly call America’s Team on SportsCenter. This version is the real deal.

“It’s hard to get around it,” Phillips said. “In the coming years, especially when the new stadium is built, it’s going to be like, ‘We’re here.’”
 

The Athletic: Who will win Bills-Chiefs AFC title game? X-factors, pivotal matchups and keys to victory​


1737807328046.png

Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills will feature two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks dueling it out with a trip to Super Bowl LIX on the line.

This is Chapter 4 in the Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen playoff rivalry. Mahomes and the Chiefs dominated the first three matchups, including the AFC title game four years ago, though the Bills have won the last four regular-season meetings, including in Week 11 this season.

The Chiefs secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed with a 15-2 regular season despite never scoring more than 30 points in a game. This is their seventh straight AFC Championship Game, with all but one taking place at Arrowhead Stadium. Mahomes and company are seeking to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

Meanwhile, the Bills are trying to return to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994. Once again the Chiefs stand in their way. Kansas City has knocked Buffalo out of the playoffs in three of the last four years. With Allen playing at an MVP level and Sean McDermott’s team having won 12 of its last 13 games that mattered, this could be their year.

But let’s allow our reporters here at The Athletic to discuss. Bills writer Joe Buscaglia and Chiefs writer Nate Taylor break down the game’s potential X-factors, the keys to victory and more.

What’s going to be different from the Nov. 14 meeting?​

Joe Buscaglia: The main difference will be in seeing how all of the missing offensive pieces for both teams in the first game will affect what we see on Sunday. For the Chiefs, they were notably without Isiah Pacheco and Marquise Brown, and they were in a constant state of figuring out their left tackle position before settling on Joe Thuney. For the Bills, they were without tight end Dalton Kincaid, rookie receiver Keon Coleman and right tackle Spencer Brown, who has emerged as one of the best at his position in the NFL this season. The impact those six individuals have on the matchup will be incredible to see in real time.

Nate Taylor: One difference that should be noticeable is the Chiefs’ improved pass rush. In the first meeting, the Chiefs failed to sack Josh Allen, the lone quarterback who evaded the Chiefs in the regular season when coach Andy Reid played his starters. The Chiefs expect Chris Jones to generate pressure on Allen from the interior, which could lead to negative plays produced by defensive ends George Karlaftis and Charles Omenihu. The Arrowhead Stadium crowd should help the Chiefs, too. Allen and the Bills’ offensive line will often have to operate with a silent snap count, which was not the case at Highmark Stadium.

Mahomes is 3-0 against Allen in the postseason. What’s the key for each quarterback to succeed?​

Buscaglia: For Allen, it’s doing the same thing he’s done all season and not allowing the moment to get too big for him like it did in the 2020 AFC Championship Game. It’s a boring answer, but Allen has been so good this season from a processing, decision-making and accuracy standpoint that he has chewed up and spit out any defensive approach used against him. He has learned the value of taking what the defense gives rather than getting it all in one play because, usually, it opens those opportunities later in the game. Then, when you add the rushing and scrambling piece to the equation, he has been a nightmare to defend this season, and that’s saying something because he was extremely difficult to defend in past years, too.


Taylor: Mahomes should focus on making quick decisions, especially from the pocket. When the Chiefs offense was its most explosive last month, in wins over the Houston Texans and the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mahomes threw the ball quickly, often in less than three seconds. Doing so will help Mahomes stay protected, too. The Chiefs are expected to roll with the same offensive line they used in the divisional round, featuring Thuney, the All-Pro left guard, at left tackle and Mike Caliendo at left guard. Caliendo will make just his second career postseason start. An argument can be made that Mahomes should make quick decisions when it comes to using his legs, too. He didn’t have a single rushing attempt in the first meeting.

We know about the stars on both teams. Who is a potential X-factor in this game?​

Buscaglia: My answer, without hesitation, is defensive end Greg Rousseau. The last time these teams played, he was a dominant force, and the Chiefs’ offensive tackle situation hasn’t gotten incredibly better than it was in Week 11. Rousseau spends most of his time at left defensive end, where he will be working against Jawaan Taylor. But on obvious passing downs, he’ll flip to the right side to match up against Thuney. Rousseau’s speed and power against Taylor, along with his length against Thuney should give the Bills a matchup advantage. Keep an eye on A.J. Epenesa against Thuney on early downs, too.

Taylor: For the Chiefs, it’s cornerback Jaylen Watson. Watson missed the first meeting, having broken his left leg in Week 7, and the Bills exploited his absence. Nazeeh Johnson started in Watson’s place in November and struggled in coverage, surrendering nine receptions for 103 yards, including a touchdown, on 12 targets, according to Pro Football Focus. With Watson back in the lineup, the Chiefs should have better coverage on the perimeter, which could help the coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s blitzes be more effective in pressuring Allen into potential mistakes.

Which individual matchup are you most intrigued by?​

Buscaglia: To me, it has to be Travis Kelce against the Bills’ back-seven defenders. The Bills did an outstanding job against Kelce in Week 11, limiting him to two catches for 8 yards. They had a very specific plan in place for him, bent the rules of their zone principles to keep a body on him at all times, and took him out of the passing equation. I highly doubt that will be the case this time. I’m fascinated to see what wrinkles Reid, the wizard of offensive innovation, will do to combat the Bills’ Kelce plan from Week 11.

Taylor: The perfect matchup is cornerback Trent McDuffie (5 feet 11 and 193 pounds) covering slot receiver Khalil Shakir (6-0, 190). One can argue that McDuffie is the best nickel defender in the league and that Shakir is the best slot receiver. In the first matchup, McDuffie didn’t follow Shakir. The Bills were thrilled about that, too. In November, Shakir led the Bills with eight receptions for 70 yards. But this time, with Watson on the field, Spagnuolo should change his strategy and have McDuffie provide shadow coverage on Shakir to take away Allen’s most reliable pass catcher.

Who wins this game and why?​

Buscaglia: I’ve thought a lot about this, and I think this is the year the Bills finally get past the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been the AFC gatekeepers for so long, and rightfully so, because they are an incredible team and organization. However, this is the best Bills team they have ever had heading into a postseason matchup with the Chiefs. The Bills’ strengths are correlated to where the Chiefs are weak this season, and one of the Chiefs’ biggest strengths, their defensive line, will be up against the Bills’ greatest strength not named Josh Allen — their offensive line. I’m expecting fireworks from Allen and Mahomes and another instant classic, but I’ll take the Bills to, at long last, break through the Chiefs wall and get to the Super Bowl for the first time in 31 years.

Taylor: A major reason the Chiefs will outlast the Bills once again is that they entered the playoffs as the AFC’s healthiest and most rested team, ingredients that give them a sizable advantage on their path to New Orleans. In previous postseason matchups, the Bills haven’t been able to prevent Mahomes from creating highlights, especially to Kelce. That problem will continue on Sunday. One also has to think that Spagnuolo’s game plan for Allen this time will be more complex with a healthy group of players for him to use. And in games of this magnitude, the Chiefs still appear to have the better kicker in Harrison Butker for a late-game field goal that could be the difference.

The Kansas City Chiefs are chasing a record third consecutive Super Bowl title, but first they have to beat the Buffalo Bills in the AFC title game on Sunday night. The Bills were one of two teams to beat Kansas City during the regular season, but they have lost three playoff games to the Chiefs over the past five seasons. The Bills have lost seven straight road playoff games since a 29-10 win at Miami in the AFC championship game in the 1992 season. That playoff road skid is the third longest in the NFL. They have not been to the Super Bowl since going to four straight in the early 1990s.

Four keys for the Buffalo Bills to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship​

Stay the course​

Bills coach Sean McDermott wants his team to treat this like any other game, and he thinks that’s an achievable goal.

“I think when you know who you are and you know what works for us, it’s a lot easier,” McDermott said Wednesday. “If you have to adjust things this time of year, then it gets more, more difficult perhaps, but we’ve been taking the same approach rather consistently all season.” Left tackle Dion Dawkins, a leader on the team, echoed that mindset when he spoke on Thursday, so it’s trickling down to all the players. The Bills need to stay true to the things that have brought them success all season if they want to notch another win on Sunday.

Take it away, take it away now​

It’s a clash of strengths again this week: The Bills win when they can force takeaways, and Kansas City hasn’t had any turnovers since Week 11, the last time they played the Bills. Quarterback Josh Allen sees that and is trying to mimic it for his own team.

“They control the ball extremely well. They don't make bad decisions,” Allen said of Kansas City. “They play great situational football. They understand when it's time to go and when it's time to kind of fend off someone. So, again, that's what we're aiming to be.”

Allen has cleaned up his game, and he and the Bills' offense will need to control the ball and capitalize on any Kansas City turnovers.

Contain Jones​

Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady had high praise for Kansas City defensive tackle Chris Jones earlier this week.

“Best defensive player in football, Chris Jones. I mean, he is as dynamic as they come,” Brady said Monday. But the defensive worries don’t stop with Jones. “And, they have 11 guys that play together as a defense, and all understand their scheme, and they're extremely well coached,” Brady said. “And when you got really good players and really good scheme and coaching, it makes it really hard, and so it's going to be a great opportunity, a great challenge for us this week.”

The Bills need to embrace the challenge Sunday, and the offensive line seems poised to do so.

Don’t be afraid to adjust​

The Bills' offense knows it has to be ready for anything defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo throws Buffalo’s way. The team feels prepared, but also ready to adjust on the fly.

“We give ourselves as many looks as we can throughout practice and in the film room,” Allen said Friday. “But also understanding that come game time, it could be completely different than what we’ve looked at. So, just understanding our base rules, sticking to them, knowing where our problems are, and knowing our answers to those problems. And I think we’ve had a good week, but, again, it all comes down to Sunday, and we’ll probably have to make some adjustments as we go, as we do every game.”
 

Bills-Chiefs: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions​


Jay Skurski​

It all comes down to this. The Chiefs have won an astounding 16 straight one-score games (those decided by eight points or less). At some point, that has to change, right? Or, better yet, how about avoiding that by taking a bigger lead? I know, it’s asking a lot. The Bills generally have not beaten themselves this season by giving the ball away. That has to continue, because the likelihood of the defense forcing three takeaways the way it did last week is low. Instead, the Bills have to get off the field when they have the opportunity by making third-down stops. On the flip side, the offense has to remember these six words: Field goals don’t beat Patrick Mahomes. Head coach Sean McDermott has to know that by now. Finish with touchdowns in the red zone. It feels like the Bills are ready for this moment. It’s time. Bills, 35-24.

Ryan O’Halloran​

I’m sticking with my early-week prediction of the Bills winning, although my confidence level in said pick has been wounded by the injury to safety Taylor Rapp that will keep him out. But I’m sticking with the Bills because they will be able to pressure Patrick Mahomes and produce two takeaways. Most of all, the difference will be Josh Allen, who will unveil a steady diet of keepers and make it a priority early to find Amari Cooper for a touchdown. Next stop, New Orleans. Bills, 27-23.

Katherine Fitzgerald​

I don’t have much to guarantee about this game other than I’m sure it will be stressful for the two fanbases. Expect it to be close and come down to the wire. These two teams have seemed destined to meet once again in the playoffs, and I feel it’s finally Buffalo’s time to notch a win over Kansas City in the postseason. If the Bills can force a turnover – Kansas City hasn’t had one since Week 11, coincidentally against Buffalo – I think the offense can score enough to keep Patrick Mahomes and company at bay. I’m on Tyler Bass redemption watch for a game winner. Bills, 31-30.

Mark Gaughan​

I see both defenses taking a similar approach by protecting deep against the two quarterbacks and inviting the offenses to run the ball. Joe Brady deserves credit for staying balanced in the first meeting, even though the Chiefs shut the run down. But the Bills will have to run it better this time to avoid third-and-bad situations, when Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo can work his magic and send free rushers at Josh Allen. I think this is a better matchup for the Bills than the Baltimore game. I think the Bills can contain the Chiefs’ run game, unlike in last year’s playoff meeting. The Chiefs tend to play close games. It will go down to the final four minutes, again. It will be nerve-wracking. Bills, 24-23.
 

Kansas City Chiefs safety Justin Reid said the quiet part out loud last week when asked about yet another playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

Reid passed on an opportunity to go into player-speak mode. You know when you see it, right? The next game is the only concern. Never look too far ahead. Blah. Blah. Blah.

“In the offseason, both of us prepare for each other because we probably know we’re going to play each other twice,” Reid said. “It’s the best matchups to play in because it’s such a talented football team with so much firepower.”

1737899309650.png

Welcome to Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes.

For the second time in 12 weeks. … For the ninth time in seven years. … For the fourth time in the last five playoffs. … For the second time in an AFC championship game.

Mahomes has three Super Bowl trophies on his glittering resume and is looking to help the Chiefs take another step toward winning a league-record third consecutive Lombardi Trophy.

Allen is chasing a Super Bowl appearance that will remain elusive until, well, it isn’t.

Allen-Mahomes already has reached the pantheon of great individual matchups in any sport going back nearly 40 years. Ditto for Bills-Chiefs as a whole.

So far, Allen is the equivalent of Steve Young, Alex Ovechkin, Peyton Manning and yes, Michael Jordan.

So far, the Bills are the equivalent of the San Francisco 49ers, Washington Capitals, Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bulls.

Several initial trips to the cusp of glory, only to fall short.

Those aforementioned players eventually changed the narrative. Sunday night is Allen’s next attempt, a chance to help the Bills to their first Super Bowl in 31 years and take one more step toward winning the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.

Cowboys-49ers​

Dallas-San Francisco was a years-long grudge match led by two owners – the Cowboys’ Jerry Jones and the 49ers’ Edward DeBartolo – who spared no expense at supporting their clubs.

Cowboys-49ers was The Game in the early 1990s. Pat Summerall and John Madden on the call for CBS, and then Fox. Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin leading the Cowboys’ offense and Young, Jerry Rice and Ricky Watters leading the 49ers. Deion Sanders left San Francisco to sign with Dallas, and Ken Norton Jr. left Dallas to sign with San Francisco.

In the first meeting (January 1993), Dallas was 15-3 and San Francisco 15-2, kind of like the Bills (15-4) and Chiefs (16-2) this year. The Cowboys won 30-20 at Candlestick Park and beat the Bills in the Super Bowl.

The second meeting (January 1994) was at Texas Stadium, and the Cowboys won 38-21, followed by a second consecutive Super Bowl title.

The third meeting (January 1995) was different. Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson was off to television, replaced by Barry Switzer. The 49ers stormed to a 21-0 lead and won 38-28. Two weeks later, they beat the Chargers in the Super Bowl.

“Indescribable,” 49ers coach George Seifert said after beating Dallas. “It’s narcotic-like. I don’t remember being any more excited or high since I’ve been coaching. It’s the reason you’re in this business. It does become addictive.”

On the sideline, Young famously asked a teammate to take the figurative monkey off his back.

Colts-Patriots​

Allen-Mahomes is this era’s equivalent to Manning-Tom Brady. Manning was the bridesmaid so many times before breaking through in 2006.

Like Chiefs-Bills, the Colts and Patriots met three times in a span of four postseasons.

In 2003, the Colts upset Kansas City on the road before losing 24-14 at New England. In 2004, the Patriots won their divisional round game over the Colts 20-3.

In 2006, the Colts beat Kansas City at home and won at Baltimore. Because New England upset the Chargers, the Colts hosted the AFC title game.

The Colts trailed 21-6 at halftime and 34-31 in the final two minutes before running back Joseph Addai scored the winning touchdown for a 38-34 victory.

“I don’t get into monkeys and vindication,” Manning said. “I know how hard I’ve worked this year. I know how hard I’ve worked this week.”

Manning had broken through and beat Chicago in the Super Bowl. The dam broke open for Manning, who would play in three more Super Bowls (1-2 record).

Penguins-Capitals​

Hooboy, has this been a fun rivalry, matching Ovechkin against Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby. They faced each other in the playoffs for the first time in 2009 and are still going strong.

The Great Eight and Sid The Kid have met four times. All in the second round. All went at least six games. And the winner went on to win the Stanley Cup each time.
The first series was a circus. In Game 2, Ovechkin and Crosby both had hat tricks. The Capitals led 2-0, but lost the next three games. Games 3-4-6 all went to overtime. Pittsburgh won Game 7 on Washington ice.

It would be seven years until Ovechkin-Crosby II, a Penguins win in six games. The next year, they again won Game 7 on visiting ice. Ovechkin couldn’t break through against the Penguins, but couldn’t get past the second round, either.

In 2018, the Capitals won in six games.

“The great thing about this is all day, I knew we were going to win,” Capitals coach Barry Trotz said.
The Capitals went on to beat Tampa Bay (winning Game 7 on road ice) and Vegas. Crosby has four Cups to Ovechkin’s one.

Red Sox-Yankees​

Brawls. Thrilling games. And front office/ownership groups who traded verbal volleys in the media. This was Red Sox-Yankees during their three American League Championship Series meetings in 1999, 2003 and 2004.

After the Yankees outbid the Red Sox for pitcher Jose Contreras in 2002, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino was reached by The New York Times. He initially declined comment, but …
“No, I’ll make a comment,” he said. “The evil empire extends its tentacles even into Latin America.”

Yankees owner George Steinbrenner responded by calling Lucchino “baseball’s foremost chameleon of all time.”

The Yankees handled the Red Sox in 1999 (five games) and won the World Series, and the 2003 series was a thriller, won by the Yankees’ Aaron Boone on an extra-inning home run. The Yankees lost to the Marlins in the World Series.

In 2004, the Yankees took a 3-0 lead, and the Red Sox their its next eight games – four over the Yankees and four over St. Louis for its first World Series title since 1918.
“To do what we did, you have to have people chip in and do some special things,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said after the ALCS win. “When we were down 0-3, there was just no room for error, and we didn’t make any errors.”

Bulls-Pistons​

“The Bad Boys” of Detroit had “Jordan Rules” for Jordan in three consecutive Eastern Conference finals matchups. The Pistons beat the Bulls in six games (1989) and seven games (1990) on their way to consecutive NBA championships.

The Bulls swapped coaches – Doug Collins was replaced by Phil Jackson – and history followed. The Bulls swept the Pistons in 1991.

“You have to give a lot of people credit – the team as a whole, not one individual or two,” Jordan said. “We saw what we wanted and we did it as a team.”
The Bulls would win six NBA titles over eight seasons.

Bills-Chiefs​

The history is memorable (for the wrong reasons) and well-documented. The Chiefs beat the Bills in the 2020 AFC championship game and the 2021 and 2023 divisional rounds.
But this seems like the best version of the Bills that Allen has led into a playoff game against the Chiefs.

“Josh is playing with more of a freedom,” said Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Bill Cowher, now an analyst for “The NFL Today,” on CBS. “There isn’t a sense of having to please people as in the past and trying to keep the stars happy. He came into this year with a fresh (look) of being a good football player and a good leader.”

Said Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo: “I’m amazed every time I put the tape on. I was shaking my head (Thursday) morning talking to the guys going, ‘How do you stop this guy?’ He’s a premier threat in this league.”

But to be a premier winner, Allen must finally climb over the Chiefs. A Bills win and who knows what happens in two weeks or in two years or in five years.

The 49ers, Colts and Capitals haven’t won a title since. The Red Sox won four titles from 2004-18. The Bulls became a dynasty.
Allen is 60 minutes away from playing on the world stage.
 

The Athletic: Four storylines to watch for Bills-Chiefs, Commanders-Eagles in AFC, NFC Championship Games​


1737899687804.png

And then there were four.

The NFL’s conference championship Sunday is here, bringing matchups between the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC and the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC. The winners advance to Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

The NFC Championship Game is at 3 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field, and the AFC Championship Game follows at 6:30 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium.

There are no unknowns between these four teams.

Washington and Philadelphia face each other twice a year as members of the NFC East, and they split their games this season. The Eagles won the first meeting 26-18 in Week 11, then the Commanders turned the tables with a 36-33 victory in Week 16.

But this is only the second playoff meeting between the teams. Washington beat Philadelphia 20-6 in the 1990 season wild-card round.

The Chiefs and Bills also have met previously this season, with Buffalo beating Kansas City 30-21 in Week 11. Since 2020, the Bills are 4-1 in the regular season against the Chiefs. Kansas City, however, has won three straight playoff meetings against Buffalo, including last season’s 27-24 triumph in the divisional round. Kansas City also beat Buffalo 42-36 in the 2021 season divisional round and 38-24 in the 2020 season AFC Championship Game.

Here are four more top storylines to follow Sunday.

NFC: Commanders at Eagles​

Jayden Daniels’ shot at Super Bowl history

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels has delivered a rookie season for the ages. That success has carried over into the playoffs, where he has a rookie-record 46 completions along with 567 passing yards, four touchdown passes and no interceptions, which translates to a 116.2 passer rating. He also has 87 rushing yards in two playoff games.

Daniels has 14 victories in his young career. With another one Sunday, he would surpass Ben Roethlisberger (with the 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers) for the most wins by a rookie quarterback, postseason included. Daniels also can become the first rookie quarterback to win three postseason games and start a Super Bowl. Finally, he can join Tom Brady (2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Tony Eason (1985 New England Patriots), Eli Manning (2007 New York Giants), Aaron Rodgers (2010 Green Bay Packers) and Roethlisberger (2005 Steelers) as quarterbacks to win three road games in one playoff run.

In his last meeting with Philadelphia, Daniels recorded 258 passing yards, five touchdown passes, two interceptions and rushed for 81 yards. With the game on the line, Daniels directed a nine-play, 57-yard scoring drive capped by a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jamison Crowder with six seconds left on the clock to lift the Commanders.

Daniels has directed five fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives (four in the regular season and one in the playoffs at Tampa Bay). The Commanders handily upset Detroit 45-31 in the divisional round last week behind 299 passing yards and two touchdown passes from Daniels. Can the dazzling rookie lead his team to an improbable victory yet again?

Eagles injury concerns

Almost everyone is beat up this time of year, but the Eagles find themselves nursing injuries at several key positions, and that could hamper their effectiveness against Washington.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a knee injury in last week’s divisional victory over the Los Angeles Rams and had reduced mobility during the latter stages of the game. Hurts averaged 42 rushing yards per game in the regular season and had 14 rushing touchdowns, many of them scored on the Eagles’ signature tush-push quarterback sneak play.

If Hurts’ mobility is reduced again Sunday, Philadelphia’s offense loses a significant dimension. If that’s the case, look for the Eagles to lean even more heavily on running back Saquon Barkley, who has averaged 25.5 carries and 162 rushing yards per game in the playoffs. He also had two rushing touchdowns — a 62-yarder and a 78-yarder — against the Rams.

The running game is the only consistent element of Philadelphia’s offense. Big-play wide receiver A.J. Brown has just three catches for 24 yards this postseason, while DeVonta Smith has tallied only eight catches for 76 yards and no touchdowns.

Tight end Dallas Goedert has eight catches for 103 yards and a touchdown this postseason, but he is nursing an ankle injury that caused him to miss practice time this week. He expects to play Sunday. Center Cam Jurgens is questionable with a back injury.

The Eagles also have a concerning injury on the defensive side of the ball. Impressive rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell missed the bulk of last week’s game with a shoulder injury. He expects to play Sunday, but his effectiveness could be limited depending on his range of motion and strength. Mitchell limited Washington’s leading pass-catcher Terry McLaurin to just one reception for 10 yards in Philadelphia’s victory, but McLaurin had five catches for 60 yards and a touchdown in the rematch.

AFC: Bills at Chiefs​

Can Josh Allen, Bills get over the hump?

Allen has spent his entire career chasing Patrick Mahomes. As mentioned, he has outdueled his rival in the regular season. But when the contests matter the most, Allen has come up short.

In last season’s divisional showdown, he completed 26 of 39 passes for just 186 yards and a touchdown but scored two rushing touchdowns. Buffalo had just seven second-half points and suffered a fourth-quarter fumble that foiled a potential scoring drive. Allen and the Bills have had a whole year to think about what they would have done differently as they now get another crack at Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Allen has done more with less in 2024 while directing an offense that ranked second in scoring during the regular season (30.9 points per game) despite not having a top-flight No. 1 receiver. Against Baltimore last week, Allen was efficient, passing for 127 yards, completing 16 of 22 attempts and rushing for two touchdowns. He received support from a defense that forced three Ravens turnovers and running backs who combined for 127 rushing yards on top of Allen’s 20.

Allen and the Bills averaged 359.1 total yards to Kansas City’s 327.6 and averaged eight more points per game than the Chiefs during the regular season. In the postseason, Buffalo’s offense has averaged 372 yards and 29 points in two games to Kansas City’s 212 yards and 23 points in one. Buffalo’s defense boasted a league-best plus-24 turnover differential in the regular season (Kansas City was plus-6) and has a plus-3 differential in the postseason.

Is this finally the year Allen gets his team over the hump?

Defense important as Chiefs eye Super Bowl return

Kansas City finds itself one win away from a third consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Only three teams, the 1971-73 Dolphins, 1990-93 Bills (four appearances in a row) and 2016-18 Patriots, have accomplished such a feat. No one, however, has won three Super Bowls in a row.

Three other back-to-back Super Bowl champs (the 1992-93 Cowboys, 1988-89 49ers and 1974-75 Steelers) returned to the conference championship game for a third straight season, but none made the Super Bowl.

Mahomes is trying to join Tom Brady and John Elway by reaching the Super Bowl five times in his career. Brady, of course, did so 10 times, so Mahomes would have a ways to go to catch him in this category.

To return to the Super Bowl, Mahomes and the Chiefs offense may need an infusion of life after producing a paltry 212 yards in last week’s 23-14 win over Houston. Third downs proved problematic for the Chiefs, who converted on just four of their 11 attempts.

Mahomes, who passed for just 177 yards and a touchdown last week, is looking for another receiver to emerge as a threat after tight end Travis Kelce erupted for 117 yards and a touchdown on seven catches. Xavier Worthy, Noah Gray and Kareem Hunt combined for just nine catches and 60 yards. Marquise Brown, DeAndre Hopkins and JuJu Smith-Schuster all went without a catch on four combined targets.

Offensive struggles will intensify pressure on a defense that limited Houston to only two touchdowns but allowed the Texans to convert 10 of 17 third downs and gain 336 yards. During the regular season, the Chiefs defense was among the stingiest in the league, holding foes to just 19.2 points a game (fourth fewest).

That unit may have to deliver one of its most dominant performances yet to get to New Orleans.
