The day is finally here. The final Divisional Round game in the NFL playoffs will be played tonight at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. Kickoff is at 6:30 pm.
The Bills and Chiefs are not only the two hottest teams in the NFL, with the two best offenses in the NFL, but both teams probably have the two most talented quarterbacks on the planet (Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes).
This is actually the fourth time the two teams have met in the past 15 months, dating back to October of 2020 in Orchard Park. The Chiefs won that meeting in rainy, windy weather, 26-17.
The Chiefs lost to the Bills this past October, 38-20, and of course, the Bills lost to the Chiefs in last year’s AFC Championship game, 38-24.
The Chiefs have scored 30 or more points in five of their past six games, with 42 points against the Pittsburgh Steelers in last week’s Wild Card game.
The Bills haven’t lost since December 12th against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Buffalo has been amazing on the field since the start of the second half of that overtime loss to the Bucs.
Josh Allen and the offense scored a touchdown on all seven possessions in their 47-17 win over the New England Patriots in their Wild Card game, with what was the first perfect game on offense in NFL history.
LOOK: Things from the year you were born that don’t exist anymore
The iconic (and at times silly) toys, technologies, and electronics have been usurped since their grand entrance, either by advances in technology or breakthroughs in common sense. See how many things on this list trigger childhood memories—and which ones were here and gone so fast you missed them entirely.
If you’re not Bills or Chiefs fan (no stress), this is the matchup you have been waiting and hoping for. In fact, this is the top new rivalry in the NFL and in the four major North American sports in general.
The Bills-Chiefs non-division rivalry is very reminiscent to the rivalry between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots between 2001-2009. They were considered the two best AFC teams of the decade and featured two of the top five quarterbacks of all-time in Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes is the modern day version of Brady v. Manning. It’s the quarterback matchup that NFL fans have been craving for weeks and were hoping happened in the postseason.
Both teams play a high-octane passing game and rely a lot on their young, superstar quarterbacks.
This has the makings to be even bigger and better than Jim Kelly v. Dan Marino.
The two teams also don’t like one another, as evidence from the end of the 2020 AFC Championship game.
It’s America’s favorite new sports rivalry and the Bills are a part of it.
