The Bills were getting offseason hype that made them out to be a combination of the 85 Bears and the Greatest Show on Turf.

Yep, and it would have been one thing if they lost an epic divisional round game like they did the year prior at Arrowhead, and you could legitimately point at injuries as a deciding factor between being a "clear favorite" and losing a 50/50 game.... but, Mahomes has shown just how deadly he is in the playoffs due to the fact that the defense sucked in 2018, and in the Bills' divisional.
They weren't beating the Bengals 10-7. Hell, holding them to 27 isn't terrible at the end of the day and makes the game completely winnable if you're the clear favorite to win it all.
