Win or Go Home
The Bills are looking for revenge against the Chiefs and are looking for their sixth consecutive win. Buffalo has lost two of its last three playoff matchups against the Chiefs and are looking to break through against Kansas City.
This will be Mahomes’ first road playoff game, and the first time the Chiefs will play the Bills at Highmark Stadium. Allen said “Bills Mafia” contributed to Buffalo’s continued momentum in their win Monday.
It’s hard to predict how the Chiefs will be affected by the electric atmosphere, but Mahomes is confident in his team and their 6-2 road regular season record.
Mahomes said Saturday he has confidence in his defense and its a unit he wouldn’t want to face.
Allen is looking to change his history of season ending losses to the Chiefs and will look to advance to his second AFC Championship. Meanwhile, Mahomes and Kansas City are looking to get one step closer to back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. Sunday night.
