Bills' 'Animosity' Sees Easy Prediction For Top AFC Rival

The Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen have grown in stature over the past few years, with the franchise now positioning itself to be a genuine Super Bowl contender for the next decade.

Given the Bills under Allen have made the playoffs for the last six consecutive seasons, naturally, there was going to be some sort of rivalry built with teams.

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in which the Bills are 2-2 in the regular season and 1-0 in the playoffs are a good shout, while Allen is 1-2 against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

But as Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame writes, there is only one true rival for the Bills, and that is Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

"Buffalo has won each of the past five AFC East titles, so it’s tough to look inside the division and find a rival," Verderame writes. "However, the Bills have plenty of animosity for the Chiefs, who have knocked them out of the playoffs in four of the past five years. 

"Whether it’s quarterback play or overall stature, there’s a terrific argument that over the past half decade, the only team to eclipse Buffalo is Kansas City."
