AFC Championship Injury Report | Chiefs vs. Bills (Chiefs.com)
BillsBeat - January 25, 2025
Bills will be without Taylor Rapp as battle with Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs looms
‘Rapp, who has been dealing with both hip and back-related injuries, has not participated in team practice at all this week.’
Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs, Josh Allen’s Bills meet in the playoffs again with more on the line than ever
‘“Patrick’s one of the greatest to ever play the game, and they’re one of the greatest teams to ever be assembled, going for a three-peat,” Allen said. “That’s what everyone wants to be in this league, to have the sustained success that they have.”’
Bills rule out S Rapp, while CB Benford questionable to play in AFC title game at Chiefs
‘Buffalo also has the option of promoting veteran Kareem Jackson off its practice squad. Signed in the summer, the 15th-year player appeared in two games with the Bills this season. McDermott ruled out the possibility of promoting Micah Hyde, the Bills former starting safety who rejoined the team by signing to the practice squad in early December.’
Bills star Dion Dawkins says there should be a 'Protector of the Year' award for offensive linemen
‘”Offensive linemen don’t have awards for being great. There’s not a ‘Protector of the Year’ award. I’m knocking on so many doors now to get this award going. I’m gonna head spear it and make sure this gets done before I’m done playing,” Dawkins said during his press conference on Thursday.’
Bills S Taylor Rapp (back, hip) out vs. Chiefs
‘”Yeah, it’s high,” McDermott said of his confidence in Bishop. “He’s a young player, but at the same time, he’s grown. He went through an injury in training camp, missed a lot of time — that set him back, set his growth back, delayed it at least — and then came in, and he’s grown through each experience, and confident he’ll continue to do that moving forward.”‘
NFL playoff ticket sales: Bills vs. Chiefs in record demand, Eagles vs. Commanders outselling past NFC finale
‘Specifically, sales for this Sunday’s AFC Championship are 50% higher than final sales for 2023’s divisional-round matchup in Buffalo, where Tyler Bass missed a would-be game-winning field goal for the Bills. They’re also 155% higher than sales for their 2021 showdown, in which Mahomes needed just 13 seconds at the close of the game to engineer an overtime-inducing scoring drive; and 140% higher than sales for the 2020 AFC Championship, which the Chiefs won 38-20.’
Bills' Dion Dawkins thinks NFL should add this category to annual awards
‘”Offensive linemen don’t have awards for being great,” Dawkins said, via the Batavia Daily News. “There’s not a Protector of the Year award. I’m knocking at so many doors now to get this award going. I’m gonna [spearhead] it and make sure that this gets done before I’m done playing. Because there’s so many greats. There’s so many greats. If we have great quarterbacks, we have great running backs, we have rushing titles, we have quarterback passing titles. All those titles are reflections of the O-linemen, which are the protectors.”‘
Josh Allen is simply the NFL’s most irreplaceable player
‘Considering Allen has posted eye-popping numbers without an elite receiver at his disposal, the seventh-year pro deserves extra credit for leading an offense that averaged 30-plus points with just eight turnovers. Despite being asked to shoulder a heavier load without a premier receiver on the perimeter, he has evolved into a playmaking “game manager” with an efficient game.’
Bills bringing different approach into latest playoff battle with Chiefs
‘It was easy to be skeptical, given that teams don’t usually get better by removing one of their most talented pieces. And it’s not like the Bills had a lot of options to replace Diggs with a player of similar talent, given the calendar and their tight salary cap situation.’
The Buffalo Bills' kryptonite needs to become their superpower in AFC Championship Game vs. Chiefs
‘”If not now, then when?” seems to be the motto of the Buffalo Bills and Bills Mafia entering AFC Championship Game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs. After a 13-win season and two more playoff wins added to the portfolio of Josh Allen, Buffalo find themselves standing across from the demon in their dreams for the fourth time in the postseason, hoping to finally exorcise their past failures.’
Buffalo Bills get devastating injury news ahead of AFC Championship Game vs. Chiefs
‘Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday morning that starting safety Taylor Rapp is ruled out for Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a hip injury. He was questionable to play but now officially won’t suit up.’
McDermott: Bills focused on fundamentals, playing a clean game against Chiefs
‘”The fundamentals are going to be important: The blocking, the tackling, the throwing, the catching, the kicking. All those areas are going to be important, which includes protecting the house, as far as taking care of the football,” said McDermott on Friday during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” on WGR.’
Opinion: Time for Bills to slay the beast
‘In the five regular season meetings against the Bills, Mahomes is 1-4 with 10 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. But in the postseason, Mahomes is a perfect 3-0 with eight touchdown passes and no picks.’
Thousands of fans expected to greet Bills at Buffalo airport early Monday morning
‘”We always do encourage fans to enjoy the game, enjoy the victory at home and a nice, warm comfort of your home with your family and friends. We encourage that, but we are planning for those who do come out for a very safe experience, and safety is first for us. It’s a lot of people in a small area, but we know it has become tradition, and we are all Bills fans, so we want to give the team as much luck as possible, because we’re not really sleeping a lot. We’re all anxious like everyone else for this big game,” stated Tederous in an interview with WBEN.’
