Bills 3-0 Chiefs, 9:58 1st quarter
Muhammad is looking for his main man, Tyreek Hill: he floats it in his hands, but drops it. Thus, the Bills survive their first test. The point is until 3 p.m., where Buffalo will take over.

Short stitch: What about this? Byron Pringle rises to 35 after a 24-yard return.
A short pass to Kelce through a garden, then a run through the center by Helaire. He is now 3rd and 4th.

FIELD GOAL! Bills 3-0 Chiefs, 11:27 1st quarter
With a kick on natural grass, Bass makes the Bills look easy and first. Now it’s all up to Patrick Muhammad.

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 11:32 1st quarter
On days 3 and 3, Allen looks for Beasley on the near side and is about to leave. At the vehicle stops, here comes a 51-yard attempt by Tyler Bass.

Bills 0-0 Chiefs, 1:18 p.m. 1st quarter
It’s the third and 7. CBS tells us Buffalo has the best third offense in the league. Let me see.
Allen faces the pressure and hits Sorensen, who gets the catch, but is left with a fist next to a garden.
They bet!
Allen: A quick throw to Dawson Knox on the narrow side and going down to the Chiefs 40. First down and a good rider to start Buffalo!

Boot!
Look, he wasn’t kidding. We are out. The Bills have it at 25 to begin with: a win from a Singletary garden is Buffalo’s first game since the fight. Then Allen hits Beasley, who runs through the center. That means a gain of 17, and the Bills are on the move and reaching 43.

Prediction time
The Bills earn 3.5 points in Las Vegas, but I don’t think they need them. I like what Buffalo did against the race last week and with the defense of the already strong pass, they could have another good game against Muhammad, just like they did in the sixth week. Also, Muhammad is coming out of a concussion and has that lawn finger.
It’s an unpopular opinion, but I think Buffalo can find a way to take that thing out and give Western New York a fifth Super Bowl appearance with a win at Arrowhead.
Final score: 27-23, and you can print it! (I just did).
Even though the result is stone, we still have to go through the formality of playing.
The AFC Championship is ready. Please wait.

The weather factor
These people are used to the worst that the gods of time can throw at them, but the Bills and Chiefs are taking some rest tonight. KC will be about 37/3 degrees, reasonable for this time of year. However, there are chances of rain, which can be fun. The launch will begin soon.

Tom Brady returns to the Super Bowl, with a new team.
Does this mean that Brady wins who is the most important for the Patriots dynasty pub chat? This is a piece for next week, but there’s another question: does that mean Brady has surpassed what Joe Montana did with his new team 27 years ago. I know, it’s a weird question: follow me.
Legendary Joe Montana, who won four Super Bowl rings with the 49ers, had made a similar change to the late Kansas City Chiefs career in 1993. In his first season at Arrowhead, Montana brought KC to the limit of the Super Bowl XXVIII, losing against, yes, the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship.
This past season, when all the rumors about the possibility of Brady leaving the Patriots were overflowing, Montana said this:
No, if not necessary. It’s a process that needs to be done and it takes time to get used to the team … I can’t see how they would let him go from there, myself.
Well, the Patriots let Brady fly, and now the quarterback who has to be considered the greatest of all time has made a round beyond what Montana did with his new team.
Who will Brady face at SBLV, at Bucs’ premises, Raymond James Stadium? The release arrives. Stay with us.

Battle of the Sauces!
If the Bills / Chiefs tilt isn’t enough for you, how about the KC BBQ Sauce versus the Buffalo Wings Sauce. It’s an appealing battle between spicy and vinegar versus the slightly sweet, spicy rib condiment.
If you’re looking for a taste test at Buffalo last week, you may run into a supply problem, as the Dash market removed all of the KC BBQ sauce from its shelves, out of spite and out of charity. There was also the usual betting among local mayors.
Personally, I’m a Buffalo wing sucker and now I’m hungry; send wings, please!
The smoke sheet
(@thesmokesheet)This weekend will be KC BBQ vs Buffalo Wings. Good bet @QuintonLucasKC & @MayorByronBrown https://t.co/5kgcIgjavf

The last time
I mentioned that if it weren’t for a brazen defeat against Arizona, Buffalo would win 12 games. That would cause the Bills to lose to KC in the sixth week. In this showdown, it was not the Mohammedans who lit up Buffalo, but KC rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who went through a 161-yard line of Bills, with Muhammad 225-yarders. Josh Allen had what could be his worst day of the season, going just 122 yards as the Chiefs won 26-17. Of course, Allen has done so much better since then, and so has Muhammad who led Kansas City to a 14-2 record. Below are the highlights of this game.
Oh, and did you know that the NFC Championship was also a re-game of week six? Is it a coincidence, or maybe something else …?
The Chiefs beat Buffalo 26-17 in week six.

Hello!
Welcome to our coverage of the AFC Championship. We have at your disposal the good morning (morning, afternoon?) With the Buffalo Bills, who are trying to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since 1993, facing the heads of Kansas City, current holders of precious metal.
The Chiefs driving for a dynasty almost took a nasty turn against the Browns last week as they survived a late Cleveland rally. They were not saved by the heroics of his all-galaxy quarterback, Pat Muhammad, but by his replacement, Chad Henne. KC’s backup somehow found a way to dazzle and dazzle his Chiefs with a couple of punctual and unlikely plays while the clock was ticking on Arrowhead.
The survival of the Chiefs means they are still running for a second consecutive Super Bowl ring, a prospect that seems significantly more likely now that we know Muhammad will be under center against Buffalo, which was not assured until he went through the shock protocol. cerebral on weekends.
And they will face the Bills, who if it weren’t for the victory of Mary’s defeat in Arizona, would win a 12-win streak in the AFC Championship. Much of that gain comes from the rapid evolution of Josh Allen and his lead drummer, Stefon Diggs, also known as the best off-season pickup.
Last week, Buffalo transformed his porous running defense into a reasonably formidable drive, which kept the slippery Lamar Jackson just 34 yards out as the Bills left Baltimore in the Divisional round. Of course, against KC, the challenge will increase several scales as they try to do something that few defenses have done to KC at this time: slow down the juggernaut.
We have some apps for you before the main course comes out (don’t fill them up) as we are ready for the start. In the meantime, feel free to do so @me – or email me with all your thoughts and feelings, predictions and all that.
For now, I encourage you to also visit Hunter and his coverage of the NFC Bucs and Packers Championship.

David will be here soon. In the meantime, here’s a preview of today’s game:
What do invoices have to do to win: The Chiefs can do so much damage, so quickly, through the air with Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill that encouraging them to go to the race, perhaps not packing the box, is an option. Josh Allen has evolved beyond recognition in a short space of time, in part because of the variety of weapons he has, from the almost impossible to cover Stefon Diggs to Cole Beasley to the Dawson Knox end. Bills will have to keep that chemistry in place Sunday.
What do bosses have to do to win: As mentioned above, Allen’s progress this season has been extraordinary and he is no longer the billing machine he was. But he still makes mistakes and the Chiefs ’outstanding defensive talent, whether it’s Tyrann Matthieu or Chris Jones, is capable of forcing him to make mistakes. If the Bills manage to get the Chiefs to run the running game, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s fitness, returning from injury, could be revealing.
Key player: Patrick Mahomes, quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs. Muhammad is the best player in the NFL, so he is the most important player in the NFL cap game you play. But its impact on Sunday is particularly revealing. Muhammad was forced to give up last week’s victory over the Browns due to a concussion – and it has been limited in practice – but it is sure to begin. The question is what version of Muhammad plays. It looks like the concussion hasn’t been too damaging (at least in the short term), but the fact that Muhammad also suffers from turf feet is more worrying for bosses. Muhammad isn’t Lamar Jackson, he won’t burn you for 50 yards, but his mobility and ability to overcome the rush are an important part of his game.
Forecast: invoices. A fully fit Muhammad outperforms Allen 90% of the time. But a limited Muhammad, who has been very good rather than great in his last few games, is a different proposition. The lingering effects of concussion and reduced mobility will deliver it to the Bills … only.
