For the seventh time in history, the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills prepare to face off for the chance to play in a Super Bowl. This matchup will be both tough and a core memory in the rivalry between these two powerhouses, one that dates back to the first Super Bowl and their first playoff game in 1966.
Each team has won the AFC Championship three times when faced against each other. The Bills won in 1966, 1991, and 1993, slaughtering the Chiefs but falling short in each Super Bowl. The Chiefs won in 2020, 2021, and 2023. They are the current defending Super Bowl champs.
The Chiefs are led by none other than Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback who went toe-to-toe with former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in 2019. Mahomes also led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl victories in 2020, 2023, and 2024, being named MVP of all three games. He will look to defend his title and continue Kansas’ reign.
Josh Allen leads the Bills. Allen has had an exceptional 2024 season, setting new NFL accomplishments, breaking franchise records, and going beyond anything he’s previously done. He’s been named AFC Offensive Player of the Week multiple times, AFC Offensive Player of the Month, and clinched the AFC East in week 13, the earliest a team has clinched their division since 2009. If the Bills win against the Chiefs, then it’s possible they could win their first Super Bowl ever. For Allen, this could be monumental.
As of now, the Chiefs are favored to win, but don’t doubt the Bills. With Allen at the head, an elite offensive line with star players like running back James Cook, and a defense that has performed remarkably well so far in the playoffs, the Bills can surprise. Expect a thrilling game filled with intense moments this Sunday as both teams leave it all on the field for the ultimate prize—a place in Super Bowl history.
