Chiefs vs Bills: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen set for epic grudge match in AFC Divisional round

In a commanding playoff performance, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs secured victory against the Miami Dolphins, causing an upset against Tua Tagovailoa’s team. Despite facing challenges including Mahomes’ helmet saga, the Chiefs exhibited resilience, instilling confidence in the entire team after a rollercoaster regular season.

Now, fueled by their renewed spirit, Mahomes and his team are poised for an epic showdown in the AFC Divisional round against the Buffalo Bills, led by Josh Allen. The upcoming clash promises to be a grudge match as both quarterbacks aim to etch their legacies in postseason history.

Josh Allen is ready to take revenge on Patrick Mahomes

The Bills weathered a fierce winter storm to secure victory in the Wild Card round, led by the outstanding performance of Josh Allen both on the ground and through the air. This triumph propels Allen and his team to a highly anticipated showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming playoff game on Sunday.

Despite Allen’s stellar regular-season record of 3-1 against Mahomes’ Chiefs, the Bills’ quarterback is winless in two postseason encounters with Mahomes. This presents a significant opportunity for Allen to seek redemption and establish his dominance over the Chiefs, adding to their regular-season victories.

The Bills’ six-game winning streak, initiated with a victory over the Chiefs in Week 14, underscores their offensive prowess and overall team performance. Allen’s track record against Kansas City is also impressive, with a total of six touchdowns and just one interception in two playoff games.

More recently, his remarkable performance against the Steelers, including a 52-yard touchdown run, further highlights his pivotal role in Buffalo’s recent success. Allen’s supporting cast has contributed significantly to their recent achievements, showcasing an offense that has been firing on all cylinders.

On the other hand, the Chiefs faced challenges in the latter part of the regular season. In this regard, Mahomes’ offensive line displayed vulnerabilities at times during the season, contributing to the Chiefs’ struggles.

NFL fans pick a side between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes

Josh Allen’s team is now set to host the No. 3 seeded Chiefs on Sunday. It marked a significant postseason encounter, the first time since the 1993 AFC Championship that the Bills would host the Chiefs in a playoff game, per the Buffalo Bills.

The excitement among fans is palpable, and Kyle Brandt has added a unique twist by prompting fans to choose sides between Allen and Mahomes.

Amid this fan-driven debate, one supporter boldly declared allegiance to the Bills’ starter, asserting that without unwavering support from the referees, the 28-year-old quarterback cannot secure victory for the Chiefs. The referees’ perceived favoritism toward Mahomes’ team has been a recurring theme throughout the season, gaining particular attention during their matchup against the New York Jets, where fans likened it to “Tom Brady-level protection.”

In this regard, one Bills fan also urged that beating Allen at the home game would be a tough job for the Chiefs starter, while Allen himself is having a good time regarding his game stats.

However, some Chiefs supporters remain unconvinced that the Bills have what it takes to upset Patrick Mahomes. Instead, they firmly believe that the two-time Super Bowl winner’s skill set is sufficient to defeat Josh Allen, who has yet to win a Super Bowl trophy.
