The stage is set for an electrifying NFL playoff season, with the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs looking to make history.
Fresh off another dominant year, the Chiefs are chasing what no team has done before – three consecutive Super Bowl victories.
But standing in their way might be the surging Buffalo Bills, who’ve transformed into a genuine powerhouse in the AFC.
Bill Cowher, speaking on CBS’s NFL Today, didn’t hesitate to identify the Bills as the Chiefs’ biggest playoff hurdle.
“I still think it’s the Buffalo Bills. They have already proved that they can beat them once. I feel like they’re under the radar, in terms of, their offense around Josh Allen, never seen him play more loose and with more freedom with what he’s doing right now,” Cowher noted.

The Bills proved their offensive prowess in Week 15 with a spectacular showing against the Detroit Lions.
In a game that promised fireworks between two explosive offenses, Buffalo delivered with a thrilling 48-42 victory.
Josh Allen put on a show, rushing for two touchdowns in the opening quarter before adding two more through the air in the second half.
The Bills stormed to a commanding 35-14 lead, becoming the first team since 2013 to score 30-plus points in eight consecutive games.
Yet the Chiefs remain as dangerous as ever, with their knack for winning close games becoming almost legendary.
Patrick Mahomes continues to shine brightest when the pressure mounts, leading his team through crucial moments with remarkable poise.
As the postseason approaches, it is certain that the AFC’s elite teams are firing on all cylinders.
