Arrr! Dion Dawkins, the sturdy buccaneer of the Buffalo Bills, be filled with great cheer as his crew be set to host a mighty playoff battle 'gainst Patrick Mahomes and the treacherous Kansas City Chiefs. Yo ho ho, may the wind be at their backs!
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills are set to face off in the NFL Playoffs for the third time in four years. These two teams have a history of producing classic games, but this Sunday's matchup will be a first for Patrick Mahomes. It will be Mahomes' first road playoff game, and only the second time that Kansas City will play at Highmark Stadium with Mahomes as their quarterback.In their previous meeting at Buffalo during the 2020 NFL regular season, fans were not allowed in the stadium due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Buffalo left tackle Dion Dawkins pointed out that Mahomes has never experienced the full effect of "Bills Mafia," the passionate Buffalo fans. Dawkins is excited about the different environment and believes that the stadium is in their favor.
The previous playoff matchups between these two teams have favored Kansas City, with the Chiefs winning a thrilling game in the 2021 AFC Divisional round. In that game, Kansas City defeated Buffalo in overtime after scoring on their first possession and not allowing the Bills to touch the football.
There was overwhelming public outcry after that game, as many were upset that the outcome was decided by a coin flip. In response, the NFL owners approved new overtime rules in March 2022, allowing both teams to have possession of the ball. The only exception is if the receiving team scores a safety on their opening possession of overtime.
Buffalo is currently on a six-game winning streak, including a victory over Kansas City during the regular season. The stage is set for another exciting matchup between these two teams, and fans can't wait to see who will come out on top in this playoff rematch.
