The Kansas City Chiefs have held the upper hand over their AFC rival Buffalo Bills in the postseason over their last three meetings. The marquee matchup between star quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen is expected to be a must-see attraction for years to come, regardless of the team’s records.
Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Ryan Fitzpatrick about who he believes is the best NFL golfer ahead of this year’s American Century Championship, and the Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills rivalry.
“I think Tony Romo has proved that [he is the best] over the years,” Fitzpatrick said. “He’s won the American Central Championship three times, but he’s certainly one of those guys in the top three in terms of the odds and wins this thing every year.”

The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which is donated by the celebrity players to local and national charities. Nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes over the years. Competition fuels not only on the golf course but also on the football field, with the ongoing rivalry between Kansas City and Buffalo.
“As a huge fan of the NFL, I now see these quarterback rivalries with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes… This is what everybody always wants to see, and unfortunately, in the playoffs, it’s been one-sided,” Fitzpatrick explained. “This is going to be a rivalry that continues because they are two of the best quarterbacks in the game. So, we will see this matchup year after year, just like we got to be treated to Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. Whenever Josh Allen is on the football field, the Bills will have a chance to win the Super Bowl.”
Fitzpatrick played four of his 17 seasons in the NFL with the Bills, his longest-tenured team.
