You don't need a crystal ball to see a potential AFC championship game preview.
FOLLOW LIVE: Updates, highlights from Bills vs. Chiefs showdown
You just have to turn on your TV on Sunday afternoon and flip to CBS to see Patrick Mahomes and the new-look Chiefs face off against the insanely talented Josh Allen and the Bills in a preview of what may come this January.
The Chiefs and Bills are set for a rematch from their 2022 AFC divisional playoff matchup, which gave NFL fans the most insane ending to a game in football history. The game also had overarching ramifications, with the league's overtime rules getting a bit massaged moving forward.
This year has shown more of the same 2021 dominance from both squads. Even with a rebuilt wide receiver room, the Chiefs, driven by Mahomes, have found a way to move the ball and get their new receivers involved often; they've also relied heavily on old reliable Travis Kelce, who secured four TD passes on Monday night against the Raiders.
The Bills have made several statements so far in 2022: They demolished the defending champion Raiders and AFC championship hopeful Titans and outlasted the Ravens for three of their four wins so far this year. But their potential next may be their biggest.
