Bills' Josh Allen aware of road struggles vs. Chiefs, ready for playoffs in Buffalo: 'Finally got a home game'

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has developed a friendship with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The two NFL stars occasionally play a game of golf together during the offseason. 

But Allen's fondness for Mahomes will likely go out the window this weekend, at least for a few hours, when the Bills-Chiefs divisional round playoff game kicks off inside Highmark Stadium. 

Allen and the Bills will look to avenge their overtime loss to the Chiefs in the 2021 divisional round. The Chiefs also knocked Buffalo out of the playoffs in the 2020 AFC championship game.

But the location of Sunday's game will be different than the recent Bills-Chiefs postseason matchups. The Bills previously had to travel to Arrowhead Stadium in January, but this year the Chiefs will have to fly to New York.

But past playoff heartbreaks are the last thing on Allen's mind.

"We don’t need to bring that up," Allen said Wednesday. "I’m sure people will bring up what I’m afraid of but, nah, I got a lot of respect for him and his game and who he is off the field."

BILLS COULD BE AFFECTED BY SNOW YET AGAIN WITH MORE FEET COMING TO BUFFALO

The Bills' 2021 defeat did prompt the NFL to change its postseason overtime rules. Kansas City won the coin toss and ended the 2021 divisional game with a touchdown on the first overtime possession. The rules now stipulate that both teams are guaranteed an opportunity to possess the ball in overtime.
