‘Forget Freddy or Jason. The Bills are tormented by the Kansas City Chiefs, featuring Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. And then some.’

‘Indeed, the camera angles showed on the CBS broadcast didn’t show anything definitive. Too many players were blocking the line to gain, making it impossible to see whether Allen had made it.’

‘The Bills offense had a chance to tie the contest late in the fourth quarter, but Kansas City dialed up an all-out blitz on fourth down and Allen’s desperation pass came up incomplete.’

‘Over the last few days, the Bills fan community has come together to raise over $60,000 (at the time of writing) for Breakthrough T1D, a non-profit organization devoted to Type 1 diabetes research and advocacy and a charity that Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has supported in the past.’

‘The Bills capitalized on three Ravens turnovers – including two from Jackson – and hung on after Mark Andrews dropped a would-be game-tying 2-point conversion in the final two minutes as Buffalo secured a 27-25 win and berth in the AFC championship game.’

‘The Bills scored 10 points off three Baltimore turnovers. Buffalo had a league-best plus 24 turnover differential during the regular season. The Bills won the turnover battle 2-1 when they beat Kansas City earlier this season.’

‘“Battle of two heavyweights, this is what you want. This is why the NFL is the greatest league in the world,” Bills edge rusher Von Miller, the MVP of Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos, said this week, “because you got matchups like this and you got quarterbacks like this going against each other.”’

‘Cook rushed for 120 yards on 23 carries on the day. He was the early offensive focus of a methodical attack, as his 5-yard touchdown early in the second quarter punctuated a 13-play, 81-yard drive.’

‘They were able to do that and will face the AFC’s No. 7 seed, which can only be one of four possible teams. They are as follows: Denver Broncos, Miami Dolphins, Cincinnati Bengals.’

‘With Buffalo getting to kick back and relax on Christmas, Allen’s offensive line took the chance to give the quarterback a gift. Dion Dawkins shared the video of the pendant that depicted Allen’s No. 17 jersey, except replacing his name with “MVP.”‘

‘”Just took a funky fall,” Allen said in a postgame news conference when asked why he went for X-rays. “More peace of mind than anything. Everything checked out fine.”‘

‘Brady explained that by burning a timeout, the Bills effectively guaranteed they would have to attempt a low-percentage onside kick to win the game. That wouldn’t have happened if the Bills saved all three of their timeouts, as they had before the ill-fated quarterback sneak.’

‘Sunday’s performance was the gunslinger’s first of the season with 300+ passing yards and 50+ rushing yards. It was also his first time scoring more than one touchdown both in the air and on the ground.’

‘Leave it to Josh Allen to one-up himself a few days after getting engaged.’

‘The 49ers took an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter, but Buffalo scored 21 unanswered points in the first half to break the game open. Josh Allen, James Cook and the Bills didn’t look back from there.’
