The rivalry between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills has evolved into what the historic New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts rivalry once was. Both teams consistently rank among the NFL’s best, with arguably the league’s top two quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, leading them.
Even their regular-season meetings have gained significance, often resulting in high-stakes games that go down to the wire. The recent Divisional Round clash between them continued this trend.

In the nail-biting encounter last Sunday, the Chiefs clinched a narrow 27-24 victory in Orchard Park, Mahomes‘ first ever playoff win on the road.
This win marked the fourth time in seven meetings since Mahomes and Allen assumed their roles as starting quarterbacks that the Chiefs emerged victorious.
The outcome was heavily influenced by a missed 44-yard field goal, reminiscent of Scott Norwood’s infamous wide-right miss in Super Bowl XXV, inducing traumatic memories for Bills fans.
Following the emotionally charged game, Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce sought out Josh Allen to express mutual respect across the battlefield.
While Bills kicker Tyler Bass and head coach Sean McDermott faced criticism for the loss, some fans might unfairly blame Allen, an opinion Kelce firmly rejects.
“You know it’s all the love in the world baby. Love you brother. Helluva job getting here. That shits crazy that you got here,” Kelce told Allen.
Allen just can’t shake the Chiefs in the playoffs
In the game against the Bills, Allen showcased his prowess by completing 26 of 39 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown, coupled with 72 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
In three postseason losses to the Chiefs, Allen has consistently delivered impressive performances, amassing 802 passing yards, 228 rushing yards, and contributing nine touchdowns to just one interception.
Despite his exceptional abilities, he consistently encounters the formidable challenge of facing Patrick Mahomes, whom many consider the best quarterback in the league.
Travis Kelce, acknowledging Allen’s greatness, showcased his own excellence in the victory over Buffalo.
Kelce recorded five receptions for 72 yards and two touchdowns, marking his fourth career postseason game with at least two receiving touchdowns and over 50 yards, a feat only matched by the legendary Jerry Rice and former tight end Rob Gronkowski.
The Chiefs’ triumph secured their sixth consecutive AFC Championship Game appearance, where they are set to face the favored Ravens in Baltimore.
Another road upset would mark their fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last six years, solidifying the Mahomes-Kelce partnership as a force to be reckoned with in the NFL.
