from The Associated PressBills visit KC in rematch of memorable January playoff game
By DAVE SKRETTA October 13, 2022

(AP Photo/Adrian Kraus)KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In one of the wildest playoff games in NFL history, the Bills and Chiefs traded the lead three times and scored 25 points in the final 2 minutes of regulation, including a 13-second field-goal drive by Kansas City to force overtime that folks in Buffalo are still trying to live down.
The Chiefs went on to win that game in January, ending Buffalo’s season at Arrowhead Stadium for the second consecutive year, and leaving Josh Allen and the rest of the heartbroken Bills counting the days until Sunday.
That’s when they get another shot at the team that’s becoming their nemesis.

(AP Photo/Joshua Bessex)“I mean, I think there are a lot of things you can take away from that game that can help you,” said Allen, whose Bills also lost the 2020 AFC championship game at Kansas City. “Again, that’s neither here nor there right now, but it’s a situation — we can take a lot from that and try to apply to practice and when we play.”
There’s an argument to be made both teams are better than they were last year.
The Bills lead the league in passing offense and total offense and are second in scoring. Tops in scoring? That would be the Chiefs, who are fourth in passing offense and sixth in total offense. On the flip side, the Bills are tied for first in scoring defense and No. 2 against the pass and in total defense while Kansas City is third against the rush.
No wonder both teams are 4-1.

(AP Photo/Joshua Bessex)“They’re a really good team. They’ve been there for a long time. Andy Reid-coached football teams win and they win often, and they sustain it and they’re really tough at home,” said Bills coach Sean McDermott, who worked under Reid in Philadelphia more than a decade ago. “So really good opponent. We have a lot of respect for them.”
The respect is mutual, and it’s only grown over the years. This will be the fifth time since 2020 the two teams have met, including those two playoff games at Arrowhead Stadium.
“We know it’s going to come down to the wire every time we play them,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “To see the guys respond (in January) when it looked like it was over, that’s something you’re always going to have.”
Indeed, the Bills appeared to have the game won when Gabe Davis caught his playoff-record fourth TD pass to give them a 36-30 lead with 13 seconds left. But that was enough time for Mahomes to complete two long passes and set up Harrison Butker’s 49-yard field goal to force overtime, where Kansas City scored on the first possession to win.
To this day, the words “13 seconds” continue to haunt Bills fans.
“Well, I mean, that did happen. That’s part of our past on one hand, but it’s also part of our past,” McDermott said. “This team will take on its own identity. You learn from things like that and you move forward.”

Allen and Mahomes each eclipsed 300 yards passing with three touchdowns, completed at least 70% of their passes without an interception and led their teams with at least 65 yards rushing in their January showdown.
No other quarterback in NFL history has done that in a game, regular or postseason.
The burgeoning rivals are also good friends, though, and found themselves on the same side in June, when they teamed up against Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady in a match-play golf event. Rodgers made a walk-off 15-foot putt for the win.
INJURY OUTLOOK
The Bills’ injury report listed 15 players this week with the most notable being safety Jordan Poyer, who sat out last week with a rib injury, and cornerback Christian Benford, who had a broken hand. Linebacker Tremaine Edwards (hamstring) and tight end Dawson Knox (foot/hamstring) also were limited after missing one game apiece.
The Chiefs are thin on defense, where cornerback Rashad Fenton is dealing with a hamstring injury, safety Bryan Cook is in the concussion protocol and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton is out after tearing his left ACL on Monday night.

After chasing Mahomes for several years in Denver, Bills pass rusher Von Miller finds himself doing it again for Buffalo. But don’t think for a moment that there’s ill will between them. In fact, the two Texans are quite fond of each other.
“We got the same financial advisor,” Miller said, “so no matter what I do, I could never get away from Patrick Mahomes.”

Fewer than two dozen players have caught four or more TD passes in a game. Two of them will be playing Sunday. Davis did it against Kansas City in January while Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce did it last week against the Raiders, when all four of his touchdown catches came from inside the 10-yard line.

The Bills are 2 1/2-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, making it the first time in 42 home starts Mahomes will take the field as an underdog. That includes 11 starts in the playoffs, two of those against Buffalo.
“It is what it is,” Mahomes said. “Our job is to go out there and win a football game. It’s a tough place to play at Arrowhead; they’ve won here before. But we’ve also handled business before. It’s up to us to do that Sunday.”

from ArrowheadPride.comWe didn’t have to wait long for a rematch of the instant classic in last year’s AFC Divisional round of the postseason.

Denny Medley-USA TODAY SportsYou’ll have a tough time finding any NFL fan or analyst that isn’t calling this Week 6 game the most anticipated of the regular season. The Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon, with opening kickoff at 3:25 Arrowhead Time.
For the first time in quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ career, he is the betting underdog at home; the Bills go into the weekend as 2.5-point favorites, per DraftKings SportsBook. Buffalo did come into Arrowhead Stadium and win in convincing fashion last regular season, 38-20 — but the Chiefs got their revenge in the postseason, winning the all-time game 42-26 in overtime.
The Bills have remained mostly the same team, only improving at some spots this offseason — while Kansas City has had to adjust to personnel turnover on both sides of the ball.
Either way, each team is still led by a great head coach and an incredible quarterback, so I’m expecting another amazing game. I have five things to watch:
1. The plan of attack against Bills defense
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24109117/1366517804.jpg)
Photo by David Eulitt/Getty ImagesUnless Buffalo throws a changeup that it hasn’t shown yet, the Chiefs know what they’ll be seeing on Sunday regarding coverage and strategy to defend the pass. The Bills blitzed six times between the last two matchups; they primarily played zone with two deep safeties — and that has continued this year.
If they continue that strategy, tight end Travis Kelce will do what he’s best at — find open windows over the middle of the field by manipulating zone defenders that have their eyes on the quarterback and not him. If they bracket him with two defenders, it should open up space elsewhere over the middle — somewhere wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster has done much of his damage this season.
Being efficient on underneath throws that rely on yards after catch will be very important — something that rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore was given the opportunity to do at the end of last week’s game.
They’ll have to rely on quick passes, but they will have their planned shots down the field; we’ve seen Mahomes test the seam vertically a few times this year. His willingness to attack the downfield windows will likely depend on how the game is going and what the scoreboard reads.
2. Eyes on Josh Allen
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24109184/1366502580.jpg)
Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesThe Chiefs might want to take a page out of the Bills’ defensive playbook to defend Allen on Sunday.
Allen has gotten to a level of play where you can’t worry about how to stop him; you have to focus on slowing him down and lulling him into an impatient mistake. Teams have done that to Mahomes, but it might be even more important against Allen because of his legs.
Allen’s scramble yards account for 31% of the Bills’ rushing yardage this season; they also make up 81% of Allen’s rushing yards. They will bring out the designed run game for these big matchups, but Allen’s ability to escape a rush and get 10 or more yards on a given dropback is what can demoralize a defense the most; it’s especially dangerous because he is so hard to tackle in the open field.
That’s why the Chiefs need to rely on zone defense, keeping off-ball defenders’ eyes on Allen and keeping everything in front of them. Allen can make them pay for that as well, but it’s the less deadly of the poisons.

3. Keeping Buffalo honest with a ground game:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24109247/1366509942.jpg)
Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesIf the Bills stick to their traditional game plan against the Chiefs, Kansas City has to be able to take advantage of light boxes and help their late-down offense with successful gains on the ground.
In last year’s playoff matchup, the Chiefs running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon combined to run for 84 yards on 17 carries; Edwards-Helaire had two runs of 10 or more yards. That average of five yards a carry needs to be the floor for the backfield’s performance on Sunday.
If they don’t stay ahead of the sticks, Bills edge rushers — headlined by Von Miller — will have a much easier time pinning their ears back and getting to Mahomes on second and third down. An impactful run game could slow them down a bit, but that starts with the offensive coaching staff calling the more effective run schemes.
4. Helping cornerbacks on the outside
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24109297/1433181084.jpg)
Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty ImagesEveryone saw the Las Vegas Raiders attack the Chiefs cornerbacks on the outside with wide receiver Davante Adams. The Bills have a similarly-elite receiver in Stefon Diggs, along with another excellent outside receiver in Gabriel Davis. On top of all that, Allen is a much more capable quarterback getting the ball to those players than the Raiders’ Derek Carr is.
So the cornerbacks need to prepare for another test, but the Chiefs’ defensive staff needs to help them. That’s where the soft zone can come in, emphasizing to the two deep safeties to be mindful of vertical routes both towards the sideline and between the hashes. Not leaving the cornerbacks on an island as we saw at times Monday night.
The pass rush will also need to help by heating up Allen in the pocket. When the Chiefs are in those zone coverages, it usually has to be paired with only a four-man rush. The front needs to create more pressure without the help of blitzing this week.
5. The Chiefs’ pass protection
:format(webp):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/24109411/1237947240.jpg)
Photo by William Purnell/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesThe biggest reason for the Chiefs’ slow start on Monday seemed to be the flaws in pass protection — specifically on the edges of the pocket.
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and right tackle Andrew Wylie had their hands full with a really good duo of rushers, and it doesn’t necessarily get any easier against Buffalo. I already mentioned Von Miller, but second-year edge rusher Gregory Rousseau has also been productive this season.
The Chiefs can’t have those two wreck the early game plan like the Raiders did, so the opening script needs to involve plays that neutralize them as best Kansas City can. Chip help, designed rollouts — these kinds of plays will be prevalent throughout the game, but the mindfulness has to start from the jump.
