AFC Championship Game: Buffalo Bills v Kansas City Chiefs | Sports

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

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 11:32 first quarter

On 3 and 3, Allen looks for Beasley on the near side line and is almost taken off. The unit stops, here comes a 51-meter attempt from Tyler Bass.

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 1:18 p.m. first quarter

It is the 3rd and 7th place. CBS tells us that Buffalo has the best third offensive in the league. See.

Allen faces the pressure and beats him to Sorensen, who makes the catch, but doesn’t have his fist in a yard.

They go for it!

Allen – a quick return to Dawson Knox, which is tight and approaching the Chiefs 40. First down and a good rider starting for Buffalo!

You start!

See, I wasn’t kidding. I left. The bills start at 25 – a one-yard win at Singletary is Buffalo’s first game of scrimmage. Then Allen hits Beasley, who passes through the middle. It is a gain of 17, and the bills move and reach 43.

Prediction time

The bills get 3.5 points in Vegas, but I don’t think they’ll need it. I like what Buffalo did to the race last week and with an already strong pass defense, he could have another good game against Muhammad, as they did in the sixth week. In addition, Muhammad comes out of a concussion and has that toe.

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

Final score: 27-23, and you can print it! (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 weather factor

These people are used to the worst that the gods of the time can throw at them, but the bills and the bosses take a break tonight. KC will be about 37/3 degrees, reasonable for this time of year. However, there is a chance of rain, which could be fun. Started soon.

Does that mean Brady wins who is more important to the Patriots chat? This is a play for next week, but here’s another question: does it mean that Brady has surpassed what Joe Montana did with his new team 27 years ago. I know, it’s a weird question – stay with me.

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

Outside of this season, when all the rumors that Brady was leaving the Patriots were in full swing, Montana had this to say:

No, if you don’t have to. It’s a process and it takes time to get used to the team … I just don’t see how they would let him go, myself.

Well, the Patriots let Brady fly, and now the defender to be considered the greatest of all time has gone a step further than Montana did with his new team.

Who will Brady face in SBLV, at Bucs’ home place, Raymond James Stadium? The start is coming – stay with us.

The Battle of Sauces!

If the inclination of the bills / bosses is not enough for you, what about the KC BBQ sauce and the buffalo sauce. It’s an appealing battle between spicy and vinegar vs. the somewhat sweet and sour coasting spice.

If you were looking for a taste test in Buffalo last week, you might face a supply problem – that’s because Dash Market has removed all KC BBQ sauce from their shelves, unfortunately for charitable reasons as well. There was also the usual bet between local mayors.

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

Last time

I mentioned that if it weren’t for an easy loss to Arizona, Buffalo would have a 12-win streak. That would make Bills KC’s last loss in the sixth week. In that match, it was not Muhammad who lit up Buffalo, but rather KC debutant RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who went through a 161-yard Banged bill line, with Muhammad growing a modest 225 yards. meters. Josh Allen had probably his worst day of the season, going just 122 yards, while the Chiefs won 26-17. Of course, Allen did much better since then, as did Muhammad, who led Kansas City to a 14-2 record. Below is a look at the most important moments of the game.

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

Welcome to the AFC Championship coverage. We have the nightgown (morning? Afternoon?) With Buffalo Bills, which is trying to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993, taking the Kansas City Chiefs, the current owners of the NFL precious piece of metal.

Leaders leading a dynasty almost took an ugly turn against the Browns last week as they survived a late Cleveland rally. They were not saved by the heroes of their Galaxy defender, Pat Mahomes, but by his replacement, Chad Henne. KC’s backup somehow found a way to amaze and amaze his bosses safely with a few timely and unlikely games as the clock ticked in Arrowhead.

The survival of the bosses means they are still on the run for a second consecutive Super Bowl ring, a prospect that seems significantly more likely now, when we know that Muhammad will be under the center against Buffalo, which was something other than assured until he passed by the concussion protocol at the end of the week.

And they will face Bills, who, had it not been for a loss in Arizona, would have won a series of 12 victories in the AFC Championship. Much of this gain comes from the kindness of the rapidly evolving Josh Allen and his main drummer partner, Stefon Diggs, also known as the best off-season pickup.

Last week, Buffalo turned his porous defense into a pretty formidable unit that kept Lamar Jackson slippery at just 34 yards, while Bills saw Baltimore in the divisional round. Of course, against KC, the challenge will be raised with several notches as he tries to do something that few defenses have done to KC in this era: the slowdown in juggling.

We have a few apps for you before you leave the main course (don’t fill out) as we get ready to launch. In the meantime, don’t hesitate @me – or contact me by e-mail with all your thoughts and feelings, predictions and all that.

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

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

What do the bills have to do to earn: Chiefs can do so much damage, so quickly, through the air, like Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, that encouraging them to go to the running game, maybe by not packing the box, is an option. Josh Allen has evolved beyond recognition in a short space of time, in part due to the array of weapons he has, from the almost impossible to cover Stefon Diggs to Cole Beasley to the Dawson Knox Strait. The bills will have to maintain that chemistry on Sunday.

What bosses need to do to win: As mentioned above, Allen’s progress this season has been tremendous and he is no longer the rolling car he was. But he still makes mistakes and the special defensive talents of the bosses, whether it’s Tyrann Matthieu or Chris Jones, are able to force him to make mistakes. If the bills manage to get the bosses into the running game, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s fitness, returning from injury, could be telling.

Key player: Patrick Mahomes, defender, Kansas City Chiefs. Muhammad is the best player in the NFL, so he is the most important player in anything game he plays. But its impact on Sunday is particularly telling. Muhammad was forced to give up last week’s victory over Browns due to a concussion – and was limited in practice – but will almost certainly start. The question is what version of Muhammad is playing. The composition does not seem to have been too harmful (at least in the short term), but more worrying for the bosses is the fact that Muhammad also suffers from fingers. Mahomes is not Lamar Jackson, he will not burn you for 50 meters, but his mobility and ability to beat speed are an important part of his game.

Prediction: invoices. A perfectly fit Muhammad defeats Allen 90% of the time. But a limited Muhammad, who has been very good rather than great in his recent games, is a different proposition. The persistent effects of contusion and its reduced mobility will give it bills … only.
