“All the pressure” was on one NFL team this weekend, according to one analyst.
This weekend’s playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs will likely go down in history as the NFL’s best postseason game this year.
It’s the third time these two teams have met in the last four seasons, with the Chiefs winning the last two games. While many believe the Bills have a good chance to win, especially since they’re at home, Kevin Harlan, one of the NFL’s top game commentators, says the pressure will be on them if that happens.
Then, play with Arrowhead Pride in Kansas City.”I think all the pressure is on Buffalo this week,” Harlan said. Harlan noted how difficult this season has been for Kansas City, considering they have reached the Super Bowl in three of the last four seasons and are physically and mentally drained as a result.
They also had to figure out who would be their main contributor at the wide receiver position this offseason, with Tyreek Hill long gone and JuJu Smith-Schuster, last year’s most productive tight end, departing in off season. The Chiefs lost several close games during the regular season and their wideouts dropped a number of passes, leaving many worried about their championship hopes.
But Harlan said “there’s light at the end of the tunnel” as the playoffs approach, knowing the season is close and they need to win three more games to become world champions. At the same time, he pointed out that Buffalo especially struggles on defense and that their city is facing a lot of weather problems due to excessive snow.
