Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills handed Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season last weekend – and Tom Brady thinks it won’t be long before the star quarterbacks meet again.
The win moved the Bills to 9-2 on the season – while the previously undefeated Chiefs fell to 9-1 – and both teams are close to making the postseason.
And by appearing in a video for The Fox Sports Instagram accountBrady tipped those passing by to meet for the ninth time overall this winter.
“I would be shocked if the Chiefs and Bills don’t meet again in January,” he said. “But I feel good about Kansas City bouncing back this week when they take on the Panthers.”
While Allen is now 4-1 against Mahomes in the regular season, things have gone the exact opposite way in the playoffs.
Tom Brady predicted that there would be a Chiefs-Bills rematch in the postseason
Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen (seen in 2022) have faced each other eight times. Allen is 4-1 in the regular season against his friend, but Mahomes is 3-0 in the postseason
Allen defeated Kansas City last weekend as he helped hand the Chiefs their first loss
The Chiefs have defeated Buffalo in all three of their recent postseason meetings, including a devastating 42-36 overtime loss to Buffalo in 2022.
Kansas City’s most recent playoff win over the Bills came in January of this year, when the Chiefs posted a 27-24 win in frigid conditions in Western New York.
Brady’s comments came as he revealed his power rankings after Week 11 of the season.
The former Patriots and Buccaneers star had Kansas City at No. 3, Buffalo second and the 9-1 Lions first after their emphatic 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
While the Chiefs and Bills both appear poised to win their divisions comfortably, they will continue to battle for the AFC’s No. 1 seed — and the first-round bye and home field advantage that comes with it.
The Chiefs played just one home game in the playoffs last season en route to a second straight Super Bowl victory after their 11-6 regular season earned them third place in the AFC.
Four of their next seven games will come against teams that currently have winning records: the Chargers, Texans, Steelers and Broncos.
The Bills have a bye this week, but return in Week 13 with a game against the 49ers, and a test at the Lions also awaits in Week 15.
