Storylines & Talking Points Emerging For Bills vs Chiefs

Storylines & Talking Points Emerging For Bills vs Chiefs

Author: Blue Wire January 23, 2025 Duration: 1:11:00

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Mike Bundt from Trainwreck Sports to go over several of the biggest storylines and talking points emerging as the Buffalo Bills get ready to face the Kanas City Chiefs on Sunday for the AFC championship.

A trip to the Super Bowl is on the line and Mike has some interesting observations and thoughts on many things that are discussed, including the high stakes pressure with both teams. Buffalo's is obvious reasons, as the organization tries to finally get over the hump and make their first Super Bowl throughout the Josh Allen/Sean McDermott era and their first as an organization since 1994. Meanwhile the Chiefs are trying to become the first team in NFL history to win the Super Bowl in three consecutive seasons.

The guys also discuss how several key players were missing on both teams the first time these teams met during the regular season, an opportunity for the Buffalo running game to be strong against what's been a leaky Chiefs run defense, officiating historically being (strongly) on the Chiefs side in the postseason and how Buffalo need slow down Patrick Mahomes, who's always on another level come playoff time.

They also talk about what they think each team fears most about their opponent, X-factors for the game and tons more. Make sure to follow Mike on Twitter @Mike_Bundt.

Major props to Talking Buffalo sponsor, Sonny Red’s at 1841 Abbott Road in Lackawanna, just minutes from Highmark Stadium. We consider them THE most underrated spot for wings, pizza and other great food in Western New York plus it’s a great place to drink and have a great time.
