Chiefs/9ers rematch is what I want. We'll see...

 

[Dude]

Bills and Chiefs want no part of the Bengals.

The league office, having read all the negative press and online posts about how putting a 7th seed in the playoffs is nothing but greed, decides to make a lame attempt to prove everybody wrong. So they rig every game and get the Seahawks and Dolphins in the SB and to add insult to injury, assign Jerome Boger's officiating crew to do the SB and it turns into a shitshow. You''re welcome.

Just stirring the pot. Best of luck to your Chiefs, friend. Some really good games to look forward to. Bring it!

Micah Hyde will be back for the Bills if they beat the Dolphins on Sunday.

If the Bills and Chiefs meet in the AFC Championship game, it'll be in Atlanta.
