For the Buffalo Bills, the misery and anguish of 13 seconds on Sunday night could last a lifetime. Bills head coach Sean McDermott had his season-ending media conference Tuesday after Buffalo’s heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s AFC divisional-round matchup, and he didn’t mince words on how much the result still stung. Namely what unfolded in the final 13 seconds of regulation. A touchback on the kickoff. A 19-yard catch by Tyreek Hill. A 25-yard grab by Travis Kelce. A… Source link
Read More »Bills vs. Chiefs is a tough call
Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs is a phenomenal divisional round matchup. You can tell by the point spread. The Chiefs opened as 2.5-point favorites at BetMGM, and that moved to -1.5 by Wednesday. Think about that: The team that has Patrick Mahomes, has played in the past two Super Bowls and has won 10 of 11 is seeing the betting line move against them. Just because it’s a big game — and this could well be the biggest game of the entire season before the Super Bowl — doesn’t mean… Source link

Five of the six Wild Card games are in the books, and they certainly did not finish without controversy. Charles Robinson & Frank Schwab recap the five weekend games from 2022’s Wild Card slate, opening with the Dallas Cowboys‘ 23-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Were the referees really at fault for the timing of the final play? Should Mike McCarthy lose his job for this playoff collapse? Can the SF run game be Green Bay’s achilles heel in the second round? Charles & Frank discuss it… Source link

Ryan Fitzpatrick is technically still the Washington Football Team quarterback. On Saturday, he was a member of the Bills mafia. The 17-year journeyman, who spent four seasons quarterbacking the Bills, showed up for Buffalo’s blowout of the New England Patriots. Photos of him with fans in the stands made the rounds on social media during the game.

The Buffalo Bills handed the New England Patriots an embarrassing 47-17 wild-card loss on Saturday night, and in the process they made NFL history. They became the first team ever to have a perfect offensive performance. They scored touchdowns on every single one of their possessions (except the kneel downs at the end of the game). They didn’t face a single fourth down in the entire game, so they had no punts or field goals. They also held onto the ball when they had it, turning the ball… Source link
Read More »Bills, Josh Allen thrash Patriots for wild-card win
The list of times Bill Belichick has been embarrassed in the playoffs is short. The instance everyone will point to is a 2009 wild-card game against the Baltimore Ravens, when the New England Patriots trailed 24-0 in the first quarter. They lost that game 33-14. In 2012 they lost the AFC championship game to the Ravens by 15 points. Those were the only times Belichick’s Patriots teams had lost by more than 10 in the playoffs. A lot about Saturday night’s 47-17 Buffalo Bills win was… Source link

But the effort shows that the companies’ networks of data centers, warehouses, business partnerships and legions of users have given Amazon and Google a huge number of potential allies in their showdown with Washington. “I’m glad in this case Amazon is deploying people like me,” said Kristin Rae, the… Source link
Read More »Josh Allen, Bills answer bell vs. Patriots
If you’ve followed the AFC East over the past two decades or so, the New England Patriots‘ Monday night win over the Buffalo Bills earlier this month seemed incredibly familiar: The Patriots went on the road against a division rival and did exactly what it took to win, seemingly slashing a few holes in the opponents’ sails in the process. As they racked up an incredible 17 division titles in 19 seasons, New England was dominant against Buffalo in particular. But after the Bills rolled into… Source link
