- The Bills might be ailing on paper, but they are a high-octane offense whose players will be ready come game day no matter what you’re reading about them ahead of time. Next: How the Chiefs.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have some recent and not-so-recent history to consider as they vie for a chance to play in Super Bowl LV. That history may well have no bearing on the outcome of the AFC Championship Game, but it could also have some impact. Let’s take a quick look back at the last time these two teams played, both in the regular season and the postseason.

The Bills and Chiefs faced off back in Week 6 of the regular season at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park. This game came after the only regular-season loss by the starters in Kansas City and the team looked to turn a new leaf. The emphasis for most of the game was on establishing the line of scrimmage on offense and utilizing the ground game.
Buffalo really struggled to stop Chiefs rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire despite some changes along the offensive line for Kansas City. The Bills also were shorthanded on the offensive line and at the linebacker position for this game. They won’t be quite as banged up this time around, which could make things tougher on the running game.
Ultimately this game ended in a two-score win by Kansas City, but that loss sparked a run by the Bills. They haven’t lost a game since Week 6, allowing them to secure the No. 2 seed in the AFC.
Check out the highlights from Week 6 down below:
Bills 30-13 win over Chiefs in 1993 AFC Championship Game

The Chiefs and Bills haven’t played each other in the postseason since the 1993-94 AFC Championship Game. Both teams had some postseason droughts in between this game and now, but they’re right back into the thick of things. This year the Chiefs had an 11-5 regular season and beat the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Oilers to get to the AFC title game. The Buffalo Bills were 12-4, earning a first-round bye and defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.
This game was heralded as a matchup between two great quarterbacks in Chiefs’ Joe Montana and Bills’ Jim Kelly. Montana wasn’t right from the get-go, failing to complete a number of passes. He was eventually knocked out of the game by Buffalo linemen Bruce Smith and Phil Hansen, leaving Chiefs backup QB Dave Krieg in charge of a comeback attempt. The injury to Montana wasn’t the only reason this game went awry for Kansas City. They had no answer for future Hall of Fame RB Thurman Thomas, who had 203 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on the day.
Chiefs fans have been looking to serve up some payback for this game for a long time. Will that payback come today, though? Check out the highlights from the 1993 AFC title game down below:

David Alan Gettleman (born February 21, 1951) is an American football executive who is the Senior Vice President and general manager for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He was previously the general manager of the Carolina Panthers.
Early life and education[edit]
Gettleman grew up in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. He attended Boston Latin School, where he played varsity football. He then attended Springfield College, where he earned a degree in education and played offensive tackle on the freshman football team. Gettleman has two master's degrees: one in physical education from Southern Connecticut State in 1978, and another in sports administration from St. Thomas University in 1986.
Football career[edit]
Coaching[edit]
He began his football career as a teacher-coach at Spackenkill High School in Poughkeepsie, New York. As the head coach from 1973–78 and 1980–81, Gettleman led his teams to two league titles, competing against schools twice the size as Spackenkill. He spent a season as a volunteer assistant at Cal State Long Beach in 1979. Gettleman joined the faculty of Kingston High School in 1982 and became the head coach in 1984, leading his team to a Section I Bowl berth.
Front office[edit]
He entered the NFL in 1986 as a scouting intern for the Buffalo Bills.[1] He spent the next seven years working in their scouting department before leaving to accept a scouting job with the Denver Broncos after the 1993 season. In 1998, he was hired by the New York Giants, who promoted him to Pro Personnel Director the next year. In 2012, he was given the title of Senior Pro Personnel Analyst.
In January 2013, he was chosen to become the general manager of the Carolina Panthers.[2] In the 2015 season, the Panthers reached Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016. The Panthers fell to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24–10.[3] On July 17, 2017, the Panthers relieved him of his duties as general manager.[4] During Gettleman's tenure as general manager the Panthers compiled a regular-season record of 51-28-1. In that 5-year timeframe the Panthers advanced to the playoffs 3 seasons and won 3 NFC South titles.

Return to the Giants (2018-present)[edit]
Bills Vs Broncos History Live
On December 28, 2017, Gettleman was named as the new general manager of the New York Giants, returning to the Giants fold after six years.[5]
In his first 40 games with the franchise, the Giants accumulated a 10-30 record, the worst in the NFL. This stretch has, by some, been attributed to the many perceived mistakes Gettleman made with trades, free agency, and the NFL Draft.
Personal life[edit]
Gettleman is a Messianic Jew.[6] On June 5, 2018 it was announced Gettleman would undergo treatment for lymphoma.[7] He and his wife Joanne have three children, Aaron, Sam, and Ana.
