Mentions the Chiefs several times, so figured you guys would want to see it.
The Bills are the team no one, including the Chiefs wants to see in the playoffs
Forget the Ravens. Forget the Bucs. The team you don't want to play in January is the Buffalo Bills.
With all due respect to the Packers, the AFC's No. 2 overall seed may very well be the second-best team in the NFL.
The Bills crushed the Dolphins 56-26 in a game Miami needed for their playoff hopes. And maybe we didn't see a 30-point win coming, but it's in line with what the Bills have been doing to teams in recent weeks.
Buffalo has had a top-five scoring defense since Week 12. If not for the Hail Murray they would have finished on a 10-game win streak dating back to before Halloween.
And then there's Josh Allen. The third-year franchise quarterback has, in consecutive weeks, set the Bills single-season records for passing touchdowns and passing yards.
What I love most about the Bills is that they aren't even letting teams hang around. Since that Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, not a single team has finished within a possession of the Bills.
I go back to that Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Head coach Sean McDermott picked his poison and let the Chiefs' run game beat them up so that Patrick Mahomes wouldn't. Kansas City rushed for 245 yards and Mahomes passed for 225 yards.
But with about 5 minutes left in the game and down 23-17, the Bills forced a Clyde Edwards-Helaire fumble that would have given the Bills the ball at the Kansas City 31.
They would have had a chance to take the lead against the Chiefs there. But instead, the replay showed Edwards-Helaire's knee was down just before the ball came out. Mahomes took the Chiefs down for the field goal and that provided the final margin of victory.
Allen is a better quarterback today than he was then. The defense is playing far better ball. And after sweeping the Patriots and beating the likes of the Seahawks and Steelers, the Bills now know how to win big games.

As for Mahomes, he has been amazing the whole time. The loss to the Patriots went to OT and we win if coin flip goes our way. That's how good Mahomes was in crunch time, unlike your QB.
Therefore, last year, the loss against the Patriots counted.
And that would have proved that you couldn't make the SB right?
Because the playoff history from the last year is all that counted.
Chiefs fans are putting ALL their eggs in the basket of "we will turn it on in the playoffs".
Problem is, they only have 1 playoffs of proof that exists.
They did it ONE time.
It's not like the Patriots, who turned it on in the playoffs for 20 damn straight years.
They had mountains of proof.
2 decades worth of it.
The Chiefs have ONE measly playoffs worth of proof that they can turn it on and off.
Chiefs fans are putting all their hopes on the idea that the Chiefs can do what they did ONE time in FORTY years.
Actually, down 14-0 at halftime of the 2018 AFC Championship game, Patrick Mahomes mustered 31 second half points against a defense that allowed nothing in the first half, forcing overtime and would have won had Dee Ford not been offsides. Against the mighty Patriots and Tom GOAT Brady.
