He […]

Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde might have already played his last game in the NFL. Following Buffalo’s crushing 27-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round on Sunday, Hyde appeared to hint at hanging it up for good (via Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic). End of the road in the NFL […]

In the Patrick Mahomes era, the Kansas City Chiefs have proven themselves to be the best playoff team in the NFL. With their Divisional Round win over the Buffalo Bills, the Chiefs are advancing to the AFC Championship Game for the sixth straight time. That is the second-longest streak ever for making the Conference Championship […]

There were narratives abound going into the NFL Divisional Round this past weekend, and by and large, they did not disappoint. A 30-year-plus dry spell reached its merciful end, a young quarterback rose to the occasion when it mattered most, a potential dynasty remained intact and a long-suffering fan base was once again brought to […]

It will be Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens versus Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in what could be an epic AFC Championship Game. But unlike most years, the road to the Super Bowl won’t be going through Kansas City; it will be going through Baltimore. Jackson and the Ravens’ first test in […]

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis wasn’t able to play in either of Buffalo’s two playoff games this year due to a PCL sprain, which means it’s entirely possible that his final game with the Bills may have come in the regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins, a game in which Davis failed to […]

Kansas City Chiefs guard Joe Thuney suffered a pec strain during Sunday’s win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Joe Thuney had been scheduled to get an MRI on his pec on Monday, and now it has been revealed that it is a […]

Heading into the 2023 NFL season, very few doubted that at least on paper, the San Francisco 49ers had the best roster in the NFL. The NFL All-Pro teams, announced early last week, proved just that. The Niners had four 1st-team All-Pros, tied for the most in the league in the league with the Kansas […]

The Detroit Lions are headed to the NFC Championship Game versus the San Francisco 49ers this weekend.

Instead, they’ll be off to Levi’s Stadium, where the 49ers are […]

The Detroit Lions advanced past the Tampa Buccaneers to reach the NFC Championship Game.

Despite hopes that he would be able to return, the Baltimore Ravens did not activate tight end Mark Andrews for Saturday’s 34-10 win over the Houston Texans. When asked about the Ravens star’s availability in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh gave a murky answer, according to Jamison […]

In a moment that felt a little reminiscent of when Tim Duncan told a 22-year-old LeBron James “This is gonna be your league in a little while, but I appreciate you giving us this year,” at the conclusion of the 2007 NBA Finals, NFL Films captured a moment where a similar sentiment was shared by […]

The NFL Playoffs roll on, and the final four is now set. That also means we now know the 2024 NFL Draft order up to pick No. 28. The Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Buffalo Bills all lost in the Divisional Round, so their first-round draft spots are now set. Here […]

Detroit Lions starting left guard Jonah Jackson underwent surgery on Monday for a slight meniscus tear, sources tell Jeremy Fowler. Jackson is expected to miss the NFC championship game this Sunday but could be available for the Lions if they win and play in the Super Bowl. Jackson exited Sunday’s divisional round win over the […]

The Kansas City Chiefs might be the legal owners of the Buffalo Bills. Kansas City has faced Buffalo on three separate occasions in the playoffs, and all three had the same result. Patrick Mahomes and co. seem to have the winning formula to beat Josh Allen (along with some luck). Their 2023 playoff matchup had […]

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce made history during Sunday’s 27-24 playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills. Mahomes found Kelce in the end zone twice during the game, giving the Chiefs’ star-studded duo the most touchdowns between a QB-receiver duo in NFL postseason history, per Bleacher Report. Mahomes and Kelce now have 16 postseason touchdowns together, […]

The Kansas City Chiefs once again sent the Buffalo Bills packing in the playoffs, as they picked up a hard-fought 27-24 victory on Sunday to advance to the AFC Championship Game. With snowy conditions taking over Buffalo in the week leading up to this one, fans were making snowballs and throwing them at Chiefs players […]

The Detroit Lions are going all in now. After reaching the NFC Championship Game, they can almost taste the championship. They lost one of their key weapons in tight end Brock Wright during the Divisional Round. However, they wasted no time in signing a replacement. The Lions have signed former Cardinals and Eagles TE Zach […]

Tyler Bass missed a chance to tie Sunday’s playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs after missing a late field goal. With the Buffalo Bills trailing 27-24 with 1:47 remaining in the game, Bass missed a 44-yard attempt. Bills head coach Sean McDermott is still confident in Bass despite the missed kick. McDermott said the […]

For much of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ NFL Divisional Round clash against the favored Detroit Lions, the Buccaneers kept in stride. After three periods, the score was tied, and at that point, it remained anyone’s ballgame. Alas, the game went away from Baker Mayfield and company in the end, with Mayfield essentially sealing the Buccaneers’ […]

Another playoff appearance, another playoff disappointment for the Buffalo Bills. Once again, they were defeated by their perennial rivals in the Kansas City Chiefs. In a painfully familiar scene for fans, Buffalo had a chance to tie the game. However, Tyler Bass’ kick was ironically wide right, and Buffalo was unable to make another stop […]

The San Francisco 49ers are once again walking wounded coming into the NFC Championship Game. Last season, they walked into the penultimate game of the calendar with two injured quarterbacks. Now, their wide receiver room could be missing their top option in star WR Deebo Samuel. Samuel suffered a shoulder injury during their win against […]

How do the Kansas City Chiefs keep doing it? Many counted out the Chiefs this season amid their struggles throughout the year. They didn’t have a losing record, but they looked awfully shaky during their wins. The belief was that the team would struggle once the playoffs start. Despite their supposed weakness, though, the Chiefs […]

It was another playoff heartbreak for the Buffalo Bills. In a tightly fought clash that went down to the wire, the Bills succumbed to the Kansas City Chiefs, 27-24. After the game, head coach Sean McDermott spoke to the media and shouldered the blame for the loss. “It all starts with me,” McDermott said, per […]

It is going to take a while before the sting of their latest loss in the NFL playoffs to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs wears off. Somehow, Josh Allen and the Bills still couldn’t figure out the Mahomes-led Chiefs in the postseason, and for former NFL quarterback and current NFL analyst Tony Romo, […]

The Kansas City Chiefs’ season did not look right. Patrick Mahomes’ squad had lost to the Detroit Lions to kick off their campaign. They would struggle in the middle of the season due to dropped passes and tough coverages. It was fair to assume that Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills were going to give […]

After taking care of business on the road against the Buffalo Bills, the Kansas City Chiefs now head to the AFC championship to play the Baltimore Ravens. Sure enough, as Patrick Mahomes put it, the work is only going to be more difficult for them. Of course it’s natural to expect that a showdown with […]

Patrick Mahomes knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl. After all, he’s led the Kansas City Chiefs to two NFL titles, so when he speaks about winning games, everyone in the locker room listens. That was the case for the reigning Super Bowl champions Sunday night when Mahomes gave Kansas City’s stop unit […]

The Buffalo Bills could only settle with what-ifs after their painful 27-24 loss to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in an AFC divisional round matchup at home. The loss to the reigning Super Bowl champions will perhaps be most remembered by Buffalo fans for the missed field-goal attempt by kicker Tyler Bass from […]

The Buffalo Bills came up short against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. Their season ends in heartbreak as it has many times before.

Tensions were high between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills. There was some trash talk between both squads but Patrick Mahomes’ team has been here and done that. They will now see Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens next. But, the running narrative is that they are the villains in the ongoing NFL Playoffs. Chris Jones […]

A horrendous kick from Tyler Bass and a fake punt call from Sean McDermott led the NFL fans to this moment. The AFC Championship is now set and it might be one for the books. Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs escaped the Buffalo Bills to face a tough opponent in the Lamar Jackson-led Baltimore Ravens. […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the AFC Championship Game once again. However, they may be missing a big piece on their offensive line for that contest. All-Pro guard Joe Thuney suffered an injury against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night. And Kansas City should know more about his status sometime soon. Thuney will […]

Playoff tragedy befell the Buffalo Bills again. A brutal missed field goal by kicker Tyler Bass which would have tied the score late in regulation against the Kansas City Chiefs became the latest addition to the franchise’s postseason heartbreaks. The internet seems divided concerning Bass, with many mocking and pinning the blame for the 27-24 […]

Rubbing salt in the wound? Possibly. Nevertheless, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce seemed satisfied as he sent a message to distraught Buffalo Bills fans as their team’s season ended in heartbreak again. Following the Chiefs’ 27-24 win in Buffalo, Kelce was seen waving to fans in the stands, courtesy of NFL on […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are still standing two games into the NFL playoffs.

Right after Kansas City’s 27-24 win over Josh Allen and the Bills […]

The Buffalo Bills’ season ended on Sunday night in the AFC’s divisional round, the third straight season that’s happened.

The […]
