The Buffalo Bills have had four cracks at Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the postseason, and they are 0-4 in those games. It's not the fault of their offense, though, as Josh Allen and Co. are averaging over 28 points per game in those four contests. The problem is the defense routinely gets shredded by Mahomes and the Chiefs offense.
The Chiefs only scored 30 points once this past season - in the AFC Championship Game against the Bills. General manager Brandon Beane realized the defense was the thing holding the team back and used the 2025 NFL Draft to bring in a horde of defensive talent. When speaking to Tyler Dunne of Go Long, Beane revealed what he believes to be the winning formula for the Bills to finally get over the hump.
"Let’s get after Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson," Beane said. "If you want to break down where our road has come to an end? We haven’t gotten those quarterbacks on the ground."
The Bills spent early draft picks on guys who can be those disruptors up front to get quarterbacks on the ground. T.J. Sanders, Landon Jackson, and Deone Walker are all players who can have an impact in their respective roles. Not to mention Greg Rousseau and Joey Bosa doing what they do. It's clear the Bills had a vision in this draft, and that vision is to get to the quarterback.
