The Buffalo Bills’ season ends in a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, 32-29. This was a tough one because, just like the last two playoff losses to the Chiefs, Bills fans are left with many “what ifs” and a feeling of will this team ever beat Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid in the playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills face the number one seed and back-to-back defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium at 6:30 PM this Sunday on CBS. This will be the fourth matchup in the playoffs between the two teams over the last five seasons. Buffalo lost to the Chiefs in the 2020 AFC Championship and the 2021 and 2023 Divisional Rounds.

The Buffalo Bills face the number one seed and defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium at 6:30 PM this Sunday on CBS. This preview will break down Kansas City’s key players, their strengths and weaknesses, and themes from Chiefs’ win and losses this season, and their postseason history.

The Bills handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season to move to 9-2 and close the gap in the race for the AFC’s number-one seed. The Bills finished the game with back-to-back 10+ play-scoring drives, chewing up almost twelve minutes of the game clock for a final score of 30-21. The Bills ended the game instead of giving Mahomes an opportunity to lead a game-winning drive. This was the fifth straight game in which the Bills scored 30+ points.

Bills vs. Chiefs week is here. Like many others, I have had this game circled since the schedule was released earlier this year. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are the two best quarterbacks in the NFL, and their matchups have proven to be must-see TV. If the Bills have any hope of obtaining the number one seed in the AFC come playoff time, this is a game they need to win.

The AFC West, home of the back-to-back Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs, and the most confident division prediction I will make. Surprise, the Chiefs will repeat as AFC West Champions for a ninth straight year in 2024. The real question will be how the other 3 teams fare with two new head coaches and potentially two new starting quarterbacks in the division.
