Kansas City Chiefs: Ranking potential divisional round opponents
By Tyler Miller
LEAST INTIMIDATING – BUFFALO BILLS
On paper, Buffalo can be a potentially tricky matchup. Buffalo has an elite defense and a solid rookie running back in Devin Singletary, but Buffalo also has some massive deficiencies.
To start with, they lack playmakers on the outside. John Brown and Cole Beasley are both solid players, but neither are going to strike fear in opponents. On top of that, Josh Allen has yet to truly prove himself as much more than a game manager. Although he’s only thrown nine interceptions, he also has a sub 60% completion percentage and has thrown for less than 200 yards per game this year.
Allen is the weakest quarterback in the playoffs and will continue to be a liability for his team. On top of that, the Bills have yet to have notch impressive wins this season. Their only victory of note is the Dallas Cowboys, who will spend January at home on the couch.
It’s worth noting that the Bills didn’t have a tough schedule to begin with, but any time they had a chance to prove they belonged with the best of the best, they failed to live up to the hype.
Buffalo is a solid team who’s had a great run till now, but the reality is they aren’t a real Super Bowl contender and shouldn’t intimidate Kansas City. The Bills could certainly beat the Texans this weekend, and Chiefs fans should hope that happens and also root for the Titans, because Buffalo would be the easiest match-up for KC in the Divisional Round.
