The Buffalo Bills will host the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in what is easily the most anticipated playoff game of the weekend.
The matchup in Buffalo will be Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ first road playoff start in his career.
And Bills veteran offensive lineman Dion Dawkins, a three-time Pro Bowler (including this season), had a message for Mahomes ahead of Buffalo’s showdown with the Chiefs on Sunday night.
“[Mahomes has] only been here once. So he’s never been here. Simple as that,” said Dawkins (via ESPN). “Pat has never been to the Bills stadium in full….The environment will be different. And not to say it’s in our favor, but [the] stadium is our favor. Stadium is us. That helps us. I don’t care what nobody says.”
“This is the most dopest feeling I’ve ever had,” added Dawkins. “We’re having two back-to-back playoff games [at] home. Come on now, like we get to leave and go eat wings. It’s cool. So good luck.”
It will definitely be a different environment than what Mahomes is accustomed to in the playoffs.
And it will be a much different environment than what Mahomes experienced in his one previous trip to Buffalo, which came in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic (the game was played without fans).
The crowd in Buffalo is going to be absolutely electric on Sunday night. And the Bills are the team that seemingly has momentum on their side. You can never count out Mahomes in the playoffs, but it feels like this is the season that the Bills are going to finally get past the Chiefs in the playoffs and advance to the AFC Championship game.
