Exceeding Expectations: Josh Allen’s Stellar Season
Josh Allen has silenced critics with an impressive season, leading the Bills to first place in the AFC East.

A win against the Chiefs would significantly bolster the Bills’ chances of securing home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
A Pivotal Matchup with Playoff Implications

A victory would not only solidify their position atop the AFC East but also potentially give them the edge in the race for the coveted number one seed in the AFC, ensuring home-field advantage in the playoffs.
