An inside look at the Chiefs-Bills AFC Championship battle in Kansas City, Mo. on Sunday night: \u00a0<\/p>\n
Marquee matchup<\/p>\n
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce vs. Bills secondary<\/p>\n
Bills starting safety Taylor Rapp, who had to be carted off the field last week with a hip injury, is out for the game, which means rookie Cole Bishop starting in his place. <\/p>\n
Kelce will be at least some of Bishop\u2019s responsibility, which will be something to watch. <\/p>\n
Bishop struggled in pass coverage this season, allowing 18 completions on 25 targets and a 127.4 pass rating when targeted.<\/p>\n
Kelce, in the Chiefs\u2019 three playoff wins over Buffalo, has 26 catches for 289 yards and five TDs. <\/p>\n
He was, however, held in check in the teams\u2019 regular-season meeting, catching just two passes for 8 yards. <\/p>\n
The Bills often played bracket coverage on Kelce with two defenders in that game. Kelce will also see a lot of safety Damar Hamlin as well as Buffalo cornerbacks.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s going to go down as the greatest tight end to ever play the game,\u201d Buffalo defensive coordinator Bobby Babich said this past week. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to try to put a plan together as best we can to make sure that we at least keep him contained.\u201dGood luck with that.<\/p>\n
Cann\u2019s call<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Buffalo\u2019s time. <\/p>\n
The Bills have the more complete team, and they seem to have figured out how to close out games, which has been a previous issue for them in the postseason. <\/p>\n
Josh Allen finally overcomes Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs, and maybe the Bills finally win a Super Bowl after all these years.<\/p>\n
Bills 30, Chiefs 28<\/p>\n
Four downs<\/p>\n
Special treatment? There\u2019s been much hand-wringing of late about the referees\u2019 kid-gloves handling of Patrick Mahomes when it comes to throwing flags for roughing the passer and late hits. <\/p>\n
The Texans were penalized twice for hits against Mahomes in last week\u2019s divisional round game that easily could not have been called. Both extended Chiefs scoring drives.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe knew it was going to be us versus the refs,\u2019\u2019 said Texans DE Will Anderson Jr., who was flagged for a very questionable roughing-the-passer penalty in the game. Mahomes this week told reporters, \u201cI don\u2019t feel that way,\u2019\u2019 referring to special treatment from the refereeing crew.<\/p>\n
The numbers would suggest differently. <\/p>\n
Since the 2021 season, in the playoffs the Chiefs have been called for 36 penalties to 66 for their opponents. <\/p>\n
Of those, Kansas City\u2019s opponents have been flagged for seven roughing-the-passer penalties to one for the Chiefs, and 11 pass interference or defensive holding penalties to two for the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
In the 11 playoff games in that span, the Chiefs have been called for fewer penalties than their opponents 10 times.<\/p>\n
Turnover watch: These two teams turn the ball over the least of any in the league, so something may have to give in this game. <\/p>\n
The Bills haven\u2019t lost the turnover battle in 21 consecutive games. <\/p>\n
Buffalo led the NFL in turnover margin this season by a landslide at plus-24, with Pittsburgh No. 2 at plus-16. <\/p>\n
And, according to CBS, there have been 280 turnovers committed in the NFL since Week 12, and the Chiefs don\u2019t have a single one of those, going eight consecutive games without a turnover \u2014 the longest streak by any team in the Super Bowl era, including playoffs.<\/p>\n
On third thought: The Bills defense has struggled getting opposing offenses off the field. <\/p>\n
The Ravens converted 7 of 10 third downs last week, marking the second time this season Buffalo has allowed an opponent to convert at least 70 percent of third-down attempts. <\/p>\n
The Rams went 11-for-15 on third down in a 44-42 win on Dec. 8. <\/p>\n
The Bills defense struggled in the regular season on third downs, allowing a 43.8 percent conversion rate, fourth-worst in the league.<\/p>\n
On the run: The Bills own the better rushing attack. <\/p>\n
The Chiefs ranked 22nd in the NFL in rushing yards and 29th in yards per attempt. <\/p>\n
Their leading rusher was Kareem Hunt, who had 728 yards and seven TDs. <\/p>\n
Isiah Pacheco, who had 310 rushing yards but missed 10 games with a leg injury, is a wild card of sorts, because if he\u2019s healthy he can be dangerous.<\/p>\n
The Bills ranked ninth in rushing yards, but first in rushing TDs with 32 thanks to James Cook\u2019s 16 to go with his 1,009 rushing yards and Josh Allen\u2019s 12. <\/p>\n
Cook has rushed for more than 100 yards in three of the Bills\u2019 past six games. <\/p>\n
Ray Davis and Ty Johnson add key depth at running back, which the Chiefs don\u2019t have. <\/p>\n
The Bills last week rushed for 147 yards and three TDs on 36 carries against the Ravens\u2019 No. 1 ranked rushing defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
