The Buffalo Bills are heading to Kansas City for Sunday’s AFC Championship game, aiming to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs for the second time this season to secure their spot in the Super Bowl. With their sights set on overcoming past playoff hurdles, the Bills will need to push forward without one of their players.
According to Pro Football Talk, quarterback Anthony Brown was released from the team’s practice squad after signing with Buffalo ahead of their divisional-round matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. After serving as Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s backup, Brown was utilized on the scout team to assist the Buffalo defense in preparation. However, with Jackson no longer in the running, Brown found himself without a role and was cut from the roster on Tuesday.
Fans took to social media to express their reactions to the news. One fan tweeted, “1 game away from the superbowl. The NFL is a brutal league,” highlighting the tough realities of maintaining a position in the league. Another fan chimed in, “Sign an ex chief now,” suggesting the Bills should make similar preparations for Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. In a show of gratitude, one supporter simply stated, “Thank you for your service.”
It’ll be intriguing to see if Brown can find his way back into the league and secure a spot on a roster next season.
