The Buffalo Bills have never won a Super Bowl; the Kansas City Chiefs are pushing to win their third Super Bowl in a row. Those two realities will collide head-on when the Chiefs host the Bills on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.
After dispatching the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round, Josh Allen and the Bills are full of confidence, and Buffalo‘s superstar quarterback is eager to make amends for the three playoff losses the Bills have suffered at the hands of the Chiefs already this decade. The top-seeded Chiefs will have home field advantage at Arrowhead Stadium as well as a seeming invincibility in tight, one-score games — but Kansas City has a vulnerability that Allen is dead-set on exploiting in order to reach Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Will the fourth time be the charm for Allen, Bills?
Buffalo, desperate to reach its first Super Bowl in three decades, has already defeated Kansas City once this season: a 30-21 victory at Highmark Stadium in Week 11 that ended the Chiefs’ bid for a perfect regular season. And after that hard-earned win, Allen told the Chiefs’ superstar signal-caller Patrick Mahomes that he would see him again soon — a prediction that has come to pass.
Mahomes has a perfect 3-0 record against the Bills in postseason play, including two wins at Arrowhead Stadium. Allen has the weight of history on his shoulders — Buffalo last reached the Super Bowl during the 1993 season, the fourth in a string of four consecutive Super Bowl losses for the franchise — but the MVP candidate feels nothing but pride in reaching this stage of the playoffs for only the second time in his career.
The Chiefs have opened as slim 1.5-point favorites to advance to Super Bowl LIX against either the Washington Commanders or the Philadelphia Eagles. But this may finally be Allen’s time after the close calls of the past, including last season’s heartbreaking divisional round loss to Mahomes and company in Buffalo. The Bills feel it is time to exact revenge.
