Unfortunately, the Bills also ended up making some brutal NFL history by losing to the Chiefs. As shared on X by OptaSTATS, Buffalo is the first team in NFL history to win a playoff game in five straight seasons, but not make it to the Super Bowl in any of them.

Josh Allen's Bills will face Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs in the playoffs for the fourth time in five years. Here's a look back at the previous matchups (spoiler alert: Kansas City won them all).

Allen and Mahomes get a lot of the shine in this rivalry, but Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Bills head coach Sean McDermott have a history, too. McDermott was an assistant under Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles for ten years before Reid fired him in 2010 as the team’s defensive coordinator.
