Chiefs will play Bills in divisional round of playoffs on Sunday night

The Kansas City Chiefs will officially be on the road to take on the Buffalo Bills in the AFC’s divisional round of the playoffs, and we now know the game schedule details.

The NFL announced that the Chiefs will face the Bills on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 5:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. The Detroit Lions will host an NFC divisional round game in the afternoon spot on NBC, Peacock, and Universo at 2:00 p.m. CT.

The Buffalo Bills (2) are hosting for the first time in their postseason rivalry with the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs. On Monday afternoon, they secured their spot with a resilient victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers at snowy Highmark Stadium. In two previous postseason matchups against the Chiefs, each at Arrowhead Stadium, the Bills fought valiantly only to come up short to Kansas City.

In their Week 14 meeting, Penalties and mistakes were the story of the Chiefs’ meltdown at Arrowhead Stadium that led to the controversial offsides call on Kadarius Toney. The offense turned the ball over, including a tipped Mahomes pass leading to an interception, and was ineffective in the red zone late in the game. The Bills’ offense had issues with the Chiefs’ defense but produced in clutch moments to steal a victory in Kansas City.

The Bills are playing the best football of their season heading into the game, while Kansas City’s offense showed positive signs of life in their wild card round victory over the Miami Dolphins.
