Why can the Buffalo Bills win?
The Bills and the Chiefs met in the regular season where the Buffalo side won 20-17. Josh Allen threw for 233 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, and reached double figures in carry for another touchdown. It kicked off a six-game win streak, which helped them qualify for the postseason. That was away at Kansas, but in the playoffs, he will have home-field advantage.
Allen led the league with 44 combined touchdowns, a 92.2 rating, and 18 interceptions. James Cook, in his second season in the NFL, crossed 1000 rushing yards in three games for more than 100 yards.
Why can the Kansas City Chiefs win?
Patrick Mahomes will be playing his first-ever away post-season game on Sunday night. He has yet to win against Allen at Orchard Park in the regular season. One thing he has going for him is the weather, which will be the same as in Kansas.
Despite the underwhelming 2023 season in which he had the most losses in a season (6), he is one of the best quarterbacks around. He threw 27 touchdowns along with 14 interceptions. First-year receiver Rashee Rice set the record for most receiving yards by a rookie last game, so Mahomes can rely on him to create havoc in the Bills backfield.
But it’s the defense that has been the key for the Chiefs. They were the second-best defense during the regular season. In Mahomes’ 15 games in Kansas, the Chiefs have only allowed 24.4 points per game.
