So um Christian Benford got hurt during the game Russell Douglas who they traded for the trade deadline did not play because he was he got hurt in week 18 and he’s probably the underrated trade deadline best pickup uh over the last uh over 2023 season but I mentioned all

That to say and you guys talked about it earlier Kyrie Elum had an interception prior to that the first round pick from a couple years ago he was getting absolutely roasted and I think his big thing has been confidence because he’s long he’s fast and that was uh his was

First round pick for a reason but he has been on the bench and buried on the bench for much of the Season he may have to end up playing because uh they lost Bernard the linebacker Benford I mentioned left Dodson the linebacker also left and rul didn’t play and uh

That’s a concern breach would you like to take an AJ Klein Victory lap before we continue with the uh the issues with with the enturies do we load up do we load up this like video clip by the way what what a beautiful March 2020 take

Where breaches like a J Klein is going to change the AFC East and the bills will run it for the next half decade but he hasn’t been wrong since AJ Klein got let me perhap it by saying this AJ Klein had his RV packed up was ready to go on

A vacation and he came out of retirement to whoop up on the Steelers and that is what I was gonna say we’re talking we’re talking AFC East Super Bowl four time AFC East Champion AJ kleene AJ Klein a guy who was not even supposed to play at

This point last week he was not on the Bills roster he was not going to be playing in this game as Wilson said he had his RV packed he was going to drive to Key West Florida and and watch the playoffs while on vacation they called

Him up because there was an injury and he said sure yeah I’ll play and then uh had a huge game and he I think like three years ago I was like the Bill signed AJ Klein is such a huge deal uh because only because at that point every

Team he had ever played for made the playoffs when he was on the team and he’s a little good luck charm who is a solid role player and that’s what he is and now they’re going to the divisional so here we aree game for AJ Klein shut up might have to get AJ

Klein Panthers made the playoffs actually that’s wrong they didn’t make the playoffs in 2016 when he was on there but so your point remains any concerns about the injuries that we’ve talked about mostly on the defensive side of the ball I don’t think there were any guys on offense that left off

The top of my head I haven’t looked at any postgame comments about that but um I would imagine being down two linebackers and two cornerbacks rul Douglas might be able to play this week and we’ll see where Benford is is not great news when you’re facing even a

Chief team that only has a handful of great receivers instead of five or six any uh any guesses on the spread and yeah the injuries matter for sure I think you got to wait and see exactly what the long-term stuff is um you know the Chiefs feel like

They’re in better shape healthwise but the bills are in better shape form wise which is like a sort of a golf you guys were talking up the chiefs no no no I’m just saying recent form the bills over you know you would take if if you’re saying who’s been playing better since

December one you would take the bills over the Chiefs and the Bills beat the Chiefs in that time span um what do you think the spread here is not not this is not brain surgery I’m just curious what you think you want to guess first breach because winds over Wilson has it locked

In uh I would say the bills are favored because I remember the the spread was close when they played in Kansas City I one and a half Buffalo oh that’s what WS Wilson’s at minus what Bill’s minus two and a half heavily Juiced like it wants

To go to three which is I doubt I think it’ll just sit at two and a half with heavy juice all week personally unless something major happens injury-wise how how is this not a field goal game like somebody Mahomes or Allen’s gonna have the ball with a chance to

Drive and kick a game-winning field goal I think they’re daring you Bron they’re Daren you that’s why they’re not making a field game I will do you think the total is the one interesting thing though and it comes with trying to put this point spread together is not just

That the bills are dealing with injuries but the Chiefs are getting two full days of rest more than the bills uh which is not common for a lower seed to do that especially going on the road against the better seed I mean obviously if you’re the seven seed and

You’re playing the one seed you you you dealt your you got dealt your own hand you dug your own grave because you barely got in the playoffs and obviously the 49ers getting you know two weeks of rest on the Packers but in this situation where both teams had to play

The Wild Card round the bills got beat up and the Chiefs getting those two days of rest could be a big deal I it’s eight days versus six days so that’s something to think about too something else to think about is um Patrick Mahomes first road playoff game his career here one

Second there something else to think about in terms of the the bills is that the interior defensive line dayquon Jones was back Ed Oliver was getting after it and I just looked this up uh the bills pressured poor Mason Rudolph 4 47% of the snaps they only Blitz on 177%

Of the snaps so they were getting home with four guys and that’s just something to keep in mind when you talk about the Chiefs because the Steelers for as many holes as they have all over the place their offensive line has been okay last month and a half two months and we’ve

Had some issues especially on the edge with the Chiefs offensive line Ed Oliver generated a season High 10 pressures on 28 pass rushes according to nextg stats against the Steelers the most pressures by defensive tackle in a playoff game over the last six years uh six of those

Came against Mason Cole the who has who has been a weak spot of that offensive line but I just wanted to point that out
