The Buffalo Bills had a heck of a ride in 2020. It caught the attention of those across the country. Unfortunately, the run fell short of the Super Bowl via a 38-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship.
Despite that, the national reaction following the Bills’ loss mostly kept things within the big picture. While most thought Buffalo underwhelmed vs. Kansas City, the overriding feeling was that the Bills will be back.
With that, here’s some national media reaction to the Bills’ season-sending loss in the AFC title game:

For the last 12 weeks of the regular season.. @BuffaloBills were the best team in football. The @chiefs then spotted them 9 points with drops and a fumble. And they still won by double digits. Theyāre THAT good.
