If they do, it'll suck, but we'll move on pretty quickly because we have one in the bag already. We know we'll be in contention every year as long as PMII is around. Buffalo, however, has been wondering the championship desert forever and see this as their best chance to make it back to a SB. But they are also staring the "Peyton Manning" role right in the face. I think Allen may win one at some point over the next decade but right now, today, he has to do what no man outside of Tom Brady has ever done, which is beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in a playoff game. All the pressure is absolutely on the Bills.

There is a ton of pressure on Mahomes if you believe his goal is to be in the GOAT conversation. He has two major chinks in the armor with playoff losses to Brady. Cannot afford to lose to Allen or Burrow at home in the playoffs. That would be like Brady losing home playoff games to Manning in the mid 2000’s. Patrick has a chance to go on a special run the next 3 games. I hope he can pull it off.
