It’s was critical last year .. until it wasn’t. It was critical in 2020, but we weren’t as good as KC thatvyearhad injuries and wouldn’t have beaten them in OP either. Look, it’d be great to be the 1 seed, but it’s going to be tough in the AFC. The bye can help , but home field is not as huge as it used to be. Neither #1 seed made the Super Bowl last season, and the Bills didn’t lose because they played in KC.
