Unlike last year's playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills have their defensive leader available for the AFC Championship Game.

The Chiefs, who are in the AFC Championship Game for the seventh year in a row, have directly ended the Bills' season three of the past four years, and Oliver hasn't forgotten. The franchise defensive tackle is hoping that Kansas City is not the final stop on Buffalo's Super Bowl run.

Chiefs had been having their way with the Bills defense early in the AFC championship game. Ed Oliver changed that trend

At the 8:46 mark of the second quarter, Jackson scrambled for 11 yards before Oliver dragged him down as they went out of bounds. Although no penalty was called, Oliver has now been fined $16,883 for his "unnecessary roughness (hip-drop tackle)."

After a disappointing loss in the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, the Bills' must attack this fatal flaw in the 2025 NFL offseason.

And there was another thing that gnawed at the defense’s collective craw. The Ravens protected the football better that any team all season. The Bills were the best at taking it away. The challenge was obvious. “That was our motto all week: Let’s see who’s better,” Phillips said.

The Buffalo Bills find themselves in a familiar place, feeling the sting from another heartbreaking playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and wondering what they have to do to get Josh Allen over the hump and into the Super Bowl.

The Buffalo Bills will take on the Kansas City Chiefs for the fourth time in the last five playoffs--this time with a ticket to the Super Bowl on the line.

Following another crushing playoff exit, the Buffalo Bills face tough roster decisions as they plan for 2025 and beyond.

On the other, it left the Bills stuck in their own Groundhog Day prison, beating Kansas City to seemingly prove their legitimacy in the fall only to have their season ended by that same foe in the winter.

Here is the broadcast and betting information for Sunday's AFC Championship Game between the Bills and Chiefs.

Jones has guaranteed money remaining in 2025 thanks to the extension he signed last March, but designating him as a post-June 1 release can still save the Bills some $5.5 million against the cap. That's not nothing considering how much financial restructuring Buffalo has ahead of it this offseason.
