AFC Championship game: Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs | Sport

Bills 3-0 Chiefs, 9:58, 1st quarter

Mahomes is looking for his main man, Tyreek Hill – he puts it in his hands, but drops it! Thus, the Bills survived the first test. The punt dropped to 15, where Buffalo will take over.

Bills 3-0 Chiefs, 10:13 1st quarter

Short kick – what’s up with that? Byron Pringle rises to 35 after a 24-yard return.

A short pass to Kelce for one meter, then a run in the middle by Helaire. Now it’s 3 and 4.

Kicking in the natural grass, the Bass makes it look easy and the Bills attack first. Now all eyes are on Patrick Mahomes.

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 11:32 am, 1st quarter

On days 3 and 3, Allen searches for Beasley near the sideline and he is almost killed. The drive stops, here comes a 51-yard attempt by Tyler Bass.

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 13:18, 1st quarter

It is the 3rd and 7th. CBS tells us that Buffalo has the best third attack in the league. We will see.

Allen faces pressure and whips Sorensen, who catches the ball, but keeps his fist closed for a meter.

They’re going for it!

Allen – a quick turn for Dawson Knox, the tight end, and he’s falling at 40 from the Chiefs. First descent and a good driver to start for Buffalo!

Beginning!

See, I wasn’t kidding. They were out. The Bills have 25 to start – a win from a Singletary yard is Buffalo’s first game of scrimmage. Then Allen hits Beasley, who is crossing the middle. That’s a gain of 17, and the accounts are moving and are at 43.

Forecasting time

The Bills are earning 3.5 points in Vegas, but I don’t think they’ll need it. I like what Buffalo did against the race last week and with his passing defense already strong, they could have another good game against Mahomes, as they did in week six. In addition, Mahomes is coming out of a concussion and has that turf toe.

It’s an unpopular opinion, but I think Buffalo might find a way to get this thing out and give Western New York a fifth Super Bowl appearance with an Arrowhead win.

Final score: 27-23, and you can print! (I just did).

Even if the result is in stone, we still have to go through the formality of playing the game.

The AFC Championship is almost here. Please wait.

The climatic factor

These people are used to the worst that the weather gods can throw at them, but the Bills and Chiefs are having a break tonight. KC will be around 37/3 degrees, reasonable for this time of year. However, there is a possibility of rain, which can be fun. The kickoff soon.

Does this mean that Brady wins what matters most to the Patriots dynasty pub chat? That’s a play for next week, but here’s another question: does that mean that Brady overcame what Joe Montana did with his new team 27 years ago? I know, it’s a strange question – stay with me.

The legendary Joe Montana, who won four Super Bowl rings with the 49ers, made a similar move, towards the end of his career, to the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993. In his first season at Arrowhead, Montana took KC all the way to on the edge of Super Bowl XXVIII, losing to Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship.

In the off-season, when all the rumors about Brady leaving the Patriots were running wild, Montana had the following:

Don’t do this if you don’t have to. It’s a process to go through and it takes time to get used to the team … I just can’t imagine how they would let him out of there, myself.

Well, the Patriots let Brady fly, and now the quarterback who is to be considered the greatest of all time has taken it further than Montana did with his new team.

Who will face Brady at SBLV, at Bucs stadium, Raymond James Stadium? The kickoff is coming – stay with us.

Battle of Sauces!

If the inclination of Bills / Chiefs is not enough for you, how about barbecue sauce KC v Buffalo wings sauce. It is a stimulating battle between the spicy condiment and the vinaigrette and the slightly sweet and spicy rib topping condiment.

If you were looking for a taste test in Buffalo last week, you may have a supply problem – this is because Dash’s market has removed all KC barbecue sauce from its shelves, out of malice and charity. There was also the usual bet between local mayors.

Personally, I love buffalo wings and now I’m hungry – send wings, please!

The last time

I mentioned that if it weren’t for a flukish loss to Arizona, Buffalo would be on a streak of 12 consecutive wins. That would make Bills last lose to KC in week six. In this confrontation, it was not Mahomes who illuminated Buffalo, but KC’s debutant RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran through a broken Bills line for 161 yards, with Mahomes scoring a modest 225 yards. Josh Allen had what was arguably his worst day of the season, passing just 122 yards while the Chiefs won 26-17. Of course, Allen has done much better since then, as has Mahomes, who guided Kansas City to a 14-2 record. Below is a look at the highlights of that game.

Oh, and did you know that the NFC championship was also a re-match in the sixth week? Is this a coincidence, or maybe something else …?

Welcome to our coverage of the AFC Championship. We have quite a drink (morning? Afternoon?) Reserved for you with the Buffalo Bills, who are trying to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993, facing Kansas City Chiefs, current holder of the greatest NFL title precious metal piece.

The Chiefs’ push for a dynasty almost took a nasty turn against the Browns last week, while surviving a late Cleveland rally. They were saved not by the heroism of Pat Mahomes, the Galaxy quarterback, but by his replacement, Chad Henne. KC’s backup somehow found a way to amuse and dazzle his Chiefs with a couple of timely and improbable moves while the clock ticked on Arrowhead.

The Chiefs’ survival means they’re still in contention for a second consecutive Super Bowl ring, a prospect that looks significantly more likely now that we know Mahomes will be under the center against Buffalo, a fact that was anything but guaranteed until he passed the concussion protocol at the end of the week.

And they will face the Bills, who if it weren’t for a greeting from a loss in Arizona, Mary would be riding a streak of 12 consecutive wins in the AFC Championship. Many of those victories are courtesy of Josh Allen, the fast-moving drummer and his main drummer, Stefon Diggs, aka the best off-season pickup of the year.

Last week, Buffalo turned his porous racing defense into a reasonably formidable unit, which held the slippery Lamar Jackson just 34 yards away when the Bills eliminated Baltimore in the division round. Of course, against KC, the challenge will be increased by several steps as they try to do something that few defenses did for KC in this era: slow down the steamroller.

We have some apps for you before the main dish is released (don’t fill it), as we are ready to start. In the meantime, feel free to @me – or send me an email with all your thoughts and feelings, predictions and everything.

For now, I strongly recommend that you also visit Hunter and his coverage of the NFC Championship of Bucs and Packers.

David will be here soon. In the meantime, here’s a preview of today’s game:

What Bills need to do to win: Chiefs can do so much damage, so quickly, through the air with names like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill that encouraging them to go to the racing game, perhaps for not packing the box, is an option. Josh Allen has evolved beyond recognition in a short space of time, partly because of the variety of weapons he has, from the almost impossible to cover Stefon Diggs to Cole Beasley and the tight end Dawson Knox. Bills will need to maintain that chemistry on Sunday.

What bosses need to do to win: As mentioned above, Allen’s progress this season has been extraordinary and he is no longer the turnover machine he was. But he still makes mistakes and the Chiefs’ outstanding defensive talents, whether Tyrann Matthieu or Chris Jones, are capable of forcing him to make mistakes. If the Bills manage to get the Chiefs back to the racing game, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s physical condition, returning from an injury, can be revealing.

Main player: Patrick Mahomes, defender, Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes is the best player in the NFL, so he is the most important player in the any game he plays. But its impact on Sunday seems particularly revealing. Mahomes was forced to give up last week’s victory over the Browns due to a concussion – and he has been limited in practice – but it is almost certain to start. The question is which version of Mahomes plays. The concussion does not seem to have been very damaging (at least in the short term), but more worrying for the Chiefs is the fact that Mahomes is also suffering from turf toe. Mahomes is no Lamar Jackson, he will not burn you for 50 yards, but his mobility and ability to win the race is an important part of his game.

Forecast: accounts. A fully fit Mahomes beats Allen 90% of the time. But a limited Mahomes, which has been very good instead of great in its recent games, is a different proposition. The prolonged effects of the concussion and its reduced mobility will deliver this to the Bills … only.
