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

Bills 3-0 Chiefs, 9:13 1st Quarter

Allen starts in the shotgun, drops back and shoots over the middle to Driggs who can’t hold on after being hit by Tershawn Wharton.

On 2nd and 10th Singletary is running for seven and now it is 3rd and 3rd.

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

Mahomes is looking for his chief Tyreek Hill – he drives it into his hands, but he drops it! The Bills therefore survive their first test. The point is down to the 15, where Buffalo will take over.

Short kick – what’s going on? Byron Pringle takes it to the 35 after a 24-yard return.

A short pass to Kelce for a yard, then a turn in the middle through Helaire. Now it’s 3rd and 4th.

Kicking on natural grass, Bass makes it look easy and the bills hit first. Now it’s all eyes on Patrick Mahomes.

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 11:32 1st Quarter

At 3 and 3, Allen was looking for Beasley in the near sideline and he was almost selected. The ride stands, here comes a 51-year effort from Tyler Bass.

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

It’s 3rd and 7. CBS tells us that Buffalo has the best third down attack in the league. Let’s see.

Allen faces pressure and whips it to Sorensen, who makes the catch, but there is not a fist at a garden.

They go for it!

Allen – a quick look at Dawson Knox at the tight end and he rumbles down to the Chiefs 40. First down and a great driver to start for Buffalo!

Kick off!

See, I did not make a joke. We’re gone. The bill is on their 25th to start – an acquisition of Singletary is one of Buffalo’s first games. Then Allen hits for Beasley who crosses the middle. That’s a profit of 17 and the bills move to their 43.

Forecast time

The Bills get 3.5 points in Vegas, but I don’t think they will need it. I like what Buffalo did last week against the run, and with their pass defense already strong, they would be able to play a good game against Mahomes again like in week six. On top of that, Mahomes comes from concussion and has that turf.

That’s an unpopular opinion, but I think Buffalo can figure out a way to pull this thing off and give Western New York a fifth Super Bowl appearance with a win at Arrowhead.

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

Although the result is in stone, we still have to play the formality of the game.

The AFC Championship is almost here. Please wait.

The weather factor

These people are the worst that the weather gods can throw at them, but the Bills and Chiefs are in a breather tonight. KC will be around 37/3 degrees, reasonable for this time of year. However, there is a chance of rain, which can be nice. Kick-off coming soon.

Does this mean Brady is winning those who are more important to the Patriots dynasty bar chat? It’s a piece for next week, but here’s another question: does it mean that Brady surpassed what Joe Montana did with his new team 27 years ago? I know, this is something of a strange question – stay with me.

Legendary Joe Montana, who won four Super Bowl rings with the 49ers, made a similar, late-career move to the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993. In its first season at Arrowhead, Montana lost KC to the brink of Super Bowl XXVIII, to, yes, the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship.

This past season, when all the rumors that Brady might leave the Patriots were going fast, Montana said it:

Do not do this if you do not have to. It’s a process to go through, and it takes time to get used to the team … I just can not see how they would let myself leave there.

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

Who will face Brady in the SBLV at Raymond James Stadium at the Bucs home? Kick-off is coming – stay with us.

Battle of the sauces!

If the Bills / Chiefs tilt is not enough for you, how about KC BBQ sauce v Buffalo wings sauce. It’s an enticing battle between spicy and vinous versus the somewhat sweet and spicy spices.

If you went on a trial run in Buffalo last week, you may be experiencing a supply problem – this is because Dash’s market has removed all KC BBQ sauce from their shelves, despite charity. There was also the usual bet between local mayors.

Personally, I’m a sucker for Buffalo wings, and now I’m hungry – please send wings!

The last time

I mentioned that if not for a fluke loss to Arizona, Buffalo would be on a 12-game winning streak. This will make the bill the last loss against KC in week six. In that game, it was not Mahomes who ignited Buffalo, but KC’s newcomer RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran through a built-up Bills line for 161 yards, with Mahomes trotting up a modest 225 yards. Josh Allen probably had his worst day of the season, and he only passed 122 yards when the Chiefs won 26-17. Of course, Allen has fared much better since then, and so has Mahomes who led Kansas City to a 14-2 record. Below is a look at the highlights of the match.

Oh, and did you know that the NFC Championship was also a week-six match? Is it a coincidence, or maybe something more …?

Welcome to our coverage of the AFC Championship. We have quite the nightcap (morning? Afternoon?) In store for you with the Buffalo Bills, who are trying to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993, with the Kansas City Chiefs, current holders of the NFL’s most valued piece metal.

The Chiefs’ pursuit of a dynasty took an almost nasty turn against the Browns last week when they survived a late rally from Cleveland. They were not saved by heroes of their All-Galaxy full-back Pat Mahomes, but rather his replacement, Chad Henne. KC’s backup somehow found a way to enchant and blind his Chiefs with some timely and unlikely plays as the clock ticked in Arrowhead.

The Chiefs survival means they are still running for a second consecutive Super Bowl series, a prospect that seems significantly more likely now that we know Mahomes will be at the center of Buffalo, a fact that was anything but assured until he went through. the concussion protocol late in the week.

And they will face the bills, which, if it were not for Mary’s loss in Arizona, would drive a 12-game winning streak in the AFC Championship. Many of the tips are due to the rapidly evolving Josh Allen and his main battery partner, Stefon Diggs, also known as the best off-season pickup of the year.

Last week, Buffalo turned their porous running defense into a pretty formidable unit, which kept the slick Lamar Jackson up to just 34 yards when the Bills sawed off Baltimore in the division round. Of course, against KC, the challenge will be heightened several times as they try to do something that little defense has done to KC in this era: slow down the juggernaut.

We have some programs for you before the main course appears (do not perfect), because we are ready for the kick-off. In the meantime, you can rest assured @ ek or email me with all your thoughts and feelings, predictions and all that.

For the time being, I encourage you to also visit Hunter and his NFC Championship coverage of the Bucs and Packers.

David will be here soon. Meanwhile, here’s a preview of today’s match:

What the bills need to do to win: The Chiefs can inflict so much damage through the air so quickly, like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, that it’s one option to encourage them to go to the running game, perhaps by not packing the box. Josh Allen has evolved beyond recognition in a short space of time, in part because of the variety of weapons he has, from the virtually impossible to cover Stefon Diggs to Cole Beasley to Dawson Knox. The Bills will have to continue that chemistry Sunday.

What the Chiefs must do to win: As mentioned above, Allen’s progress this season has been extraordinary and he is no longer the turnover machine he used to be. But he still makes mistakes and the Chiefs’ striking defensive talents, whether it be Tyrann Matthieu or Chris Jones, can force him to make mistakes. If the bills manage to get the Chiefs turned after the running game, the fitness of Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who is returning from injury, could be of great importance.

Key players: Patrick Mahomes, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes is the best player in the NFL, so he is the most important player in any game he plays. But its impact on Sunday feels particularly telling. Mahomes was forced out of last week’s win over the Browns because of a concussion – and he was limited in practice – but he will almost certainly start. The question is which version of Mahomes is playing. It seems that the concussion was not too harmful (at least in the short term), but more worrying for the Chiefs is the fact that Mahomes is also suffering from a turf. Mahomes is no Lamar Jackson, he will not burn you 50 yards, but his agility and ability to defeat the rush is an important part of his game.

Forecast: Bills. A perfectly fit Mahomes beat Allen 90% of the time. But a limited Mahomes, who has been very good rather than good in his recent matches, is another suggestion. The continuing effects of concussion and its reduced mobility will hand this over to the bills … only.
