The Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills are set to clash in a highly anticipated AFC Championship Game this weekend. This heavyweight matchup between two of the NFL’s most dynamic teams, led by star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, feels like a long-awaited culmination of a fierce rivalry.
The Bills, despite their impressive regular season, have a history of postseason struggles against the Chiefs. This game presents a crucial opportunity for Buffalo to break this “hoodoo” and finally reach the Super Bowl after a decades-long drought.

- Playoff Dominance: The Chiefs have eliminated the Bills three times in the past six years, including a heartbreaking loss in the 2020 AFC Championship Game and two consecutive Divisional Round defeats.
- Historical Dominance: The Bills’ last playoff victory over the Chiefs dates back to 1993.
