Dalton Kincaid, the 25th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and former Utah Ute, went off in his Wildcard Weekend debut against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Kincaid led the team in receptions with 59 yards despite only hauling in three receptions on six targets. He also crossed the pylon in the first quarter to extend the Bills lead over the Steelers. 

Next up on the playoff gauntlet for Buffalo is another home stint against the reigning champs, the Kansas City Chiefs. Mahomes and Co. are coming off a 26-7 victory in record-breaking temps so a trip to Buffalo is a welcome warm-up for them. 

Kincaid will command more attention from opposing defenses which poses a new challenge for Sean McDermott to get his most prolific offensive weapon involved. 

Nonetheless, if the Bills want to surpass their playoff performances in years past, Dalton Kincaid is a crucial piece in making Super Bowl dreams for the Buffalo faithful come to fruition.
