Chiefs vs Bills playoff record all-time
These teams have met five times in the postseason. Here's how they have played out:
Date | Bills score | Chiefs score |
---|---|---|
Jan. 1, 1967 | 7 | 31 (win) |
Jan. 5, 1992 | 37 (win) | 14 |
Jan. 23, 1994 | 30 (win) | 13 |
Jan. 24, 2021 | 24 | 38 (win) |

Summed up, the Chiefs have won three of the five playoff contests, but both of the ones in the era we're in now. The game in 1967 was an AFL Championship game. The games in 1994 and 2021 were both AFC Championships, leaving the 2022 and 1992 games as divisionals.

Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen record against in postseason
In the playoffs, it's been truly all Mahomes and the Chiefs. In the Allen/Mahomes face-offs, twice now, the Chiefs have won both. Most famously, of course, was the "13 seconds" game in 2022 where the Chiefs stormed down the field with 13 seconds to force overtime, later going on to win that the Bills will be eager to avenge.
So, that brings the ultimate Allen vs Mahomes series to 3-3 including the regular season and playoffs. It's a true rubber match in this year's postseason matchup.
Has Patrick Mahomes played in Orchard Park?
While Mahomes has never played for the Chiefs in Orchard Park in a playoff setting, he and the Chiefs played there in the 2020 regular season, winning 26-17. No fans were present due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
