1. Best games on the 2022 NFL Schedule – Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs

From the second the gun sounded in overtime of the Divisional Round fans were amped to get another showdown between the Chiefs and Bills. The rivalry between Mahomes and Allen is going to dominate the AFC for the next decade and what happened at Arrowhead Stadium in the playoffs will be a key point in this series.

The two superpowers traded haymakers throughout the game, including an unprecedented 25 points scored in the final two minutes of regulation to send the game to overtime. Kansas City won the coin toss and marched down the field to score the game-winning touchdown, ending the thriller when plenty of fans wanted to see how much more the teams could throw at each other.

That game could be a turning point for the Bills, who appeared to get over the hump against Kansas City by winning at Arrowhead Stadium during the regular season before suffering this epic playoff loss. Falling in a game like that can either bring a team together in pursuit of redemption or break their spirits and this game will play a big role in determining what version of that narrative plays out for Buffalo.

Few games will get the casual fans more engaged in the NFL right now than Bills-Chiefs. The winner of this game could end up with home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs and it could prove to be a key factor in who ends up representing the AFC in the Super Bowl as well.
