And just like that, it’s all over: Buffalo Bills come up short yet again to Kansas City Chiefs | WKBW.com

I bet you’ve heard this one before: the Buffalo Bills fell short in the playoffs to the Kansas City Chiefs. In a 32-29 loss Sunday in the AFC Championship game, Buffalo comes one win away from a trip to the Super Bowl.

Devastated was the one word that seemed to describe the feeling throughout the locker room and the podium after the game.

“It’s not fun but to be the champs you have to beat the champs and we didn’t do that tonight,” says an emotional Josh Allen

Rigged began trending after in the fourth quarter when the Bills were driving up one on the Chiefs. Going for it on fourth and inches, Josh Allen attempted a QB sneak. One referee appeared to mark Allen to have gotten the first down. The referee from the Chiefs sideline, though, came in and marked Allen short.

The initial call went with the Chiefs sideline referee. Video review showed Allen appear to make the line to gain, yet the NFL still went with the call on the field. Kansas City went on to score on the next drive to take a 29-22 lead and in a dramatic finish, the Chiefs won 32-29.

‘Sticky gloves’ – Patrick Mahomes’ former Kansas City Chiefs teammate blames dodgy equipment for early Bills fumble | Talk Sport

Looking to extend a 7-3 lead in plus territory at the end of the first quarter, Mahomes fumbled on a fake handoff to Isiah Pacheco.

The Chiefs lost possession and Josh Allen led Buffalo down the field to make it 10-7.

Initially, it looked like the superstar quarterback was to blame in a rare error.

But former teammate Mitchell Schwartz had another theory – pointing the finger at running back Pacheco’s gloves.

“Well that’s unfortunate,” the retired All-Pro tackle posted on X.

“Don’t know enough about mesh points to accurately say anything but feels like Pacheco’s gloves were a little too sticky there and caught the ball at the very end as Pat was pulling it. Weird and unfortunate play.”

When’s the last time Chiefs made Super Bowl? Kansas City’s Super Bowl history, record | USA Today

Here’s what to know about Kansas City’s Super Bowl history, including the last time they were in the big game and how many times they have hoisted the Lombardi Trophy.

The Chiefs have been frequent participants in the Super Bowl during Mahomes’ time with the team. They were the AFC’s representative in Super Bowls 57 and 58, so Super Bowl 59 will mark the third consecutive season Kansas City has made the big game.

If Kansas City can beat the Philadelphia Eagles, they will become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

Saquon Barkley keys Eagles’ historic 7-TD ground surge in rout of Commanders: ‘That’s how you get to a Super Bowl | NFL.com

The average Philadelphia Eagles fan might be able to recite the first few lines to Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares,” a song that became an anthem of sorts for the club over the last decade.

“I used to pray for times like this, to rhyme like this/So I had to grind like that to shine like this”

Those words never fit the Eagles — and their superstar running back Saquon Barkley — better than they did on Sunday.

Barkley dreamed of a triumphant experience like the one he enjoyed, starting his first NFC Championship Game in trademark fashion by ripping off a 60-yard, tackle-breaking touchdown run on the Eagles’ first play from scrimmage. He followed it with another rushing score from 4 yards out later in the first quarter, setting the tone for what would end as a historic day for Philadelphia.

Less than one week after being hired as the 19th head coach in Chicago Bears history, Ben Johnson has chosen his three coordinators.

According to a league source, the Bears are hiring Declan Doyle as the team’s offensive coordinator and Dennis Allen as defensive coordinator and retaining Richard Hightower as special teams coordinator.

Doyle, 28, has coached tight ends with the Denver Broncos since 2023. He spent four seasons at the beginning of his NFL coaching career as an offensive assistant with the New Orleans Saints.

Tom Brady played in 10 Super Bowls, now gets to do his 1st as announcer at Fox | Yahoo Sports

Tom Brady has participated in 17% of the Super Bowls ever played. It’s accurate to say nobody knows what it’s like to be in a Super Bowl better than Brady, who set the record with 10 championship game appearances as a player.

Brady’s 11th Super Bowl will be a lot different though.

Brady, in his first season as Fox’s highly paid No. 1 color analyst, will be in the booth for Super Bowl LIX when the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles for the second time in three years. Brady has been the star in some of the most tense, memorable and watched Super Bowls ever. That was as a player, not as a rookie announcer with roughly 120 million people watching and critiquing his analysis.
