The Bills are close but not the Chiefs
The unforgettable 2020 season for the Bills is now in the history books. It was a disappointing end.
For a long time, the Bills seemed invincible this season. In fact, they did so for the most part since Week 6 when the Chiefs beat them. But those two games really showed that Kansas City is an elite team. Buffalo is a very good one right now. You don’t beat a team twice on a fluke.
The difference here can be shown in the clutch areas. On third down, the Chiefs were 6-for-9 while the Bills were 5-for-14 on offense. The even bigger one was in the red zone. The Bills were 2-for-5 while the Chiefs were 5-for-5 and scored a touchdown every single time.
That’s what elite teams do.
We also neglected to do one thing to this point: mentioned Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. Folks, you can admit that both Mahomes and Allen are great players. The help around him played a part, as did a better game plan, but Mahomes outdueled the Bills on Sunday. Again, this doesn’t mean Buffalo doesn’t have their franchise QB, it’s just how it went down.
What really good teams do is make it to the AFC Championship game. That’s not a slight. There were four teams left this weekend and the other one that lost has a first-ballot Hall of Famer playing quarrerback for them in Aaron Rodgers.
So lets’ end this on a good one.
The Bills are still really great and with such a young roster as well… yes, team overall, not just at quarterback. That, plus the way they Bill-eve in what Sean McDermott is doing here?
They’ll be back.
Fight to the end.
