Josh Allen knows what’s at stake next week as the Buffalo Bills triumphed over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, edging Lamar Jackson’s team 27-25 to reach the AFC Championship Game. Once again, the Bills will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, a team that has bested them in their previous postseason encounters, including some memorable moments in both regular and playoff seasons.
However, Allen understands that none of the past matters when they meet next Sunday. Following the Bills’ significant victory over the Ravens, the superstar quarterback acknowledged the high stakes of the upcoming matchup, emphasizing that everything boils down to that game. “The regular season is what the regular season is. It doesn’t matter how well you perform when you get to the playoffs,” Allen admitted via Pro Football Talk. “We lost 35-10 [to the Ravens in the regular season]. It’s hard to beat a team twice. We understand that. We know that. It’s a team that we beat early in the season, but it’s not the same team.”
Allen and the Bills are set to face off against Mahomes and the Chiefs in a heavyweight battle for the AFC Championship next Sunday. The Bills are chasing their first elusive Super Bowl title, while Kansas City aims for an unprecedented three-peat—something not seen in North American sports since the New York Yankees achieved it from 1998 to 2000.
