The final matchup of divisional-round weekend serves up a classic AFC showdown, as the Buffalo Bills (11-6) and Kansas City Chiefs (11-6) square off in the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.
Once again, two of the NFL's most exciting quarterbacks, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, resume their rivalry for a place in the AFC Championship Game.
Both sides are on the heels of stellar home victories in the Super Wild Card Weekend. The Chiefs dispatched the Miami Dolphins 27-6 on Saturday thanks to a rock-solid defensive performance, whereas Josh Allen sparkled in the Bills' narrow 20-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at Arrowhead on Monday.
Aside from Taylor Swift's likely presence to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs-Bills game appears to be a must-see on the pitch. The two franchises are evenly matched, have excellent quarterbacks, and are star-studded in a whole host of other key positions. Who will punch their ticket to this season's AFC Championship Game?
