Josh Allen dealt with warm weather (30 degrees) and the light winds (25 MPH) to get another win for the Bills. Asked in a post game interview if the wind bothered him he said he didn't notice any wind. It should be noted that two of the best FG kickers in the NFL this season were only 2/6 because of the wind. Must be that "real" cowboys don't pay any attention to the wind unless it blows their hats/helmets off.

I watched a good portion of the game; it was a real contrast in styles.

Sure the flags were outstretched and fluttering a little, but they were high up at the edge of the stadium, and you could tell that down at field level it was balmy and practically bikini and swimming brief weather (not that you would want to see those football guys in bikinis or briefs out there.)

We will try to arrange for some real wind and arctic type temps to sweep through Arrowhead next weekend, and make it feel like home for Allen and his fellow Bills. But keep in mind that the fine folks in KC get their occasional exposure to harsher weather, too, and will not be totally unaccustomed to it. Plus a lot of wind and snow might, just might, suit their playing style a smidge better than the Bills.

Nevertheless, here the Bills are in the AFC Championships. Who would have put them there even a year ago?

Seems like lots of things have gone their way this year. Getting Diggs and few injuries. Even the injury to Lamar near the end of the game was a good break. If Mahomes can't play next week they certainly have a better chance for the SB. The storybook ending would be beating Brady and the Bucs in the SB. It has been many years since they have won a game against him. Let it snow and blow.
