“There’s a time when we will look back and say… how lucky were we?” Those are the words that Jim Nantz uses to punctuate an incredible intro video for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. The script for the game writes itself. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls, while Josh Allen and the Bills are determined to reach the Super Bowl for the first time since the heart-wrenching losses of the early ’90s.
The modern Bills have seemingly been equally perplexed by the Chiefs, having lost to Kansas City three times in the last five years during the postseason. Jim Nantz’s video published by the NFL on CBS laid out all the stakes in dramatic fashion.

While calling this the true Super Bowl would be a disservice to the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, there’s no denying that Bills-Chiefs is the marquee matchup in the NFL right now. On Sunday, either the Chiefs will advance in their quest for a historic three-peat, or the Bills will finally break Kansas City’s hold over them, shattering the glass ceiling to secure their Super Bowl spot. Let’s hope that whatever unfolds in the AFC Championship game, the outcome is determined by the players on the field rather than some strange officiating controversy.
