The stage is set for an electric AFC divisional round matchup in the NFL playoffs between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills next weekend.
The Bills took down the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round on Monday evening to cement their place in the next round, and they’ll now be hosting Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday, Jan. 21, in what will be the first road playoff game of Mahomes’s career, excluding Super Bowls.
The two sides have featured in some classic battles in the postseason over the past few years, including their thrilling matchup in the divisional round back in 2021, when Kansas City escaped with a 42–36 win in overtime. This marks their third postseason meeting in the past four seasons.
The NFL world was delighted with the enticing matchup on next week’s playoff slate, and fans voiced their excitement on X over what could be another classic showdown.
Chiefs-Bills in Buffalo. Absolutely can’t wait.
