It’s interesting to me that the Chiefs are seen as the boogieman for the Bills (rightfully so), but that Chiefs haven’t actually won anything in the years where they beat Buffalo. Both times, they’ve immediately lost their next game. And it could easily happen again this year. Same with Cincinnati last year - beat the Bills, then lose the next game. One has to wonder if beating the Bills just takes a toll on these teams physically, as they are generally pretty hard fought games.

It also shows how important the one seed is, especially in the AFC right now. It’s so much easier to go bye -> weak division winner -> then one of the teams like the Bills/Chiefs/Bengals, than it is to play a six seed and then have to win two straight against top tier teams.
