Chiefs vs. Bills doesn't need any more drama. A new classic is on the horizon as the AFC's two best teams meet again in the playoffs. However, this one is a little more special. Because this is also the first time Patrick Mahomes has had to play on the road in the playoffs.
Yes, that's right. Even though Mahomes has played in 15 playoff games, he has never had to travel. That changes with a trip to Buffalo. A look at these playoff performances will show you how different these teams are and why now is the time for the Chiefs to lose.

this year? The Chiefs fell to 11 wins and 6 losses. They have a No. 15 scoring offense. This is the third season the Bills have finished in the top scoring offense since Kansas City made the playoffs during the Patrick Mahomes era.
What's the biggest problem with this playoffs? This is the first time the Chiefs' defense has outscored the Bills. This season, the Chiefs boasted the second-ranked defense in scoring and finished ahead of the Bills in passing and rushing yards allowed.
The problem ultimately comes down to offense, and all signs right now point to the Bills having Kansas City's number on their backs.
Remember all of this when these teams meet in Buffalo in the NFL Divisional Playoffs. Because we can both see the Bills get this monkey off their back and see Mahomes lose the first game of the road playoffs.
