After years of playoff disappointments and a significant roster overhaul, the Buffalo Bills are poised to return to the AFC Championship game, facing their nemesis, the Kansas City Chiefs, once again. The Bills have lost to the Chiefs in three of their last four playoff encounters, including a heart-wrenching overtime loss in 2021 and a narrow defeat in the 2022 playoffs. This season, the Bills are determined to change their fortunes, having concluded a franchise record-matching season with 15 wins.

Quarterback Josh Allen leads a team that has embraced its underdog status, showcasing resilience in their recent playoff victory against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bills' strategy of complementary football, where offense and defense work in tandem, has proven effective. However, the challenge remains to secure a road victory in the playoffs, a feat they haven't accomplished in over three decades. The upcoming showdown against the top-seeded Chiefs will test the Bills' resolve and ability to break free from their playoff past.
