For a second straight year, fans of the Buffalo Bills are forced to watch an AFC championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals, after the Bills suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of one of the game’s participants.
In January of 2022, the red-hot Bills fell to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, 42-36 in overtime, in a game now simply referred to as “13 seconds.” Had they hung on to their late-fourth quarter lead, they’d have hosted the conference championship game in Orchard Park, NY.
