The Buffalo Bills have a date with the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium, a battle for the AFC title, and a trip to their first Super Bowl since the 1993 season. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, as this will be another epic showdown and difficult to win. The Bills match up well against the Chiefs though, and this may be their best chance in the last five years to knock the Chiefs out of the playoffs.
The other conference title game pits the Commanders against the Eagles. It’s the Commanders’ first conference title game appearance since they won Super Bowl XXVI in the 1991 season — coincidentally, against the Bills. The Eagles were in this spot two seasons ago, and will be looking to win their third conference championship in the last eight seasons.
