My early thoughts on this game after watching both clubs this weekend.
1. In case KC forgot what Gabe did last year, they got a stark reminder this weekend. And I don't think it was an accident. They now have to figure out how to stop both Gabe and Diggs. That should open up opportunities for the supporting cast: Knox, Slot receiver (who plays), and backs out of back field.
2. I think KC has a better OLINE (1-5) and better DLINE (1-4). But I think Buffalo's DLINE depth (1-8) is far superior. Need to keep guys fresh
3. KC will try and run the ball. For reals. It will be up to Phillips and Oliver to shut that down.
4. This will be the game our junior varsity backfield gets exposed. Mahomes will run around long enough for them to lose contain. Much like he did last night.
5. I suspect both teams are going to play two-high safeties and force a lot of underneath throws.
6. KC secondary was exposed as well last night. If OLINE can give Josh a second or two more, it will be the difference in this game.
7. Milano has to be the guy on Kelce.
8. I think I worry more about McKittrick than MEH. McKittrick genuinely looked fast last night.
9. KC crowd noise gives them a distinct advantage. Oakland-LA-Oakland-Las Vegas did manage to silence them until the RTP call.
10. I really don't think the Bills will be able to run through the tackles last night the way Jacobs did.
