Tom Brady discusses officiating and the Chiefs | The herd
Patrick Mahomes said “a lot of other plays decided the outcome” regarding the Kansas City Chiefs’ controversial win over the Houston Texans. Colin Cowherd and Tom Brady discuss officiating and the Chiefs and if there are any issues.
The Kansas City Chiefs are no strangers to playing in big games, especially against the Buffalo Bills.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was asked Wednesday if the Chiefs had an advantage over the Bills in the AFC Championship game because so many players had experience in this type of game.
“Look, it usually doesn’t hurt. I don’t know how you weigh the benefit of it, but I feel like we play these guys all the time. They know us, we know them, but…to answer your question, I’m glad we have all those guys and you’re going to need all of them, Reid said in his press conference.

The Bills were the only team to beat the Chiefs when they played their starters in a game this season in Week 11.
The Bills won 30-21, capped off by Josh Allen’s 26-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-two to close the game.
That game was in Buffalo, while the AFC Championship game is in Kansas City.
The Bills are 4-3 against the Chiefs in their last seven games, but those three losses have all come in the playoffs.
Last season, the Chiefs eliminated the Bills in Buffalo in the AFC Divisional Round before beating the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship.

The Chiefs beat the Bills 42-36 in overtime in the divisional round a few years ago in one of the most legendary playoff games in recent memory.
In the season prior to the epic divisional round matchup, the Chiefs outlasted the Bills 38-24 in the AFC Championship.
This season, Kansas City went 15-2 and earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first round bye and an easier path to the Super Bowl than Buffalo.
The Chiefs beat the Houston Texans 24-13 in the AFC Divisional round, while the Bills had to play two games.

The Bills beat the Denver Broncos 31-12 in the Wild Card round and then beat the Ravens 27-25 in the divisional round.
Round four between the two AFC powerhouses comes on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
Only then will Reid figure out where his players’ big game experience will give them an advantage.
