- Kansas City Chiefs. This is how Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen reunited before the Chiefs vs Bills game
Before the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs even took the field for their Week 9 showdown, Josh Allen had already delivered one of the day's most talked-about moments-thanks to a hot mic and a fiery pregame speech.
"Hey, what better time than now, huh?" Allen was heard telling his teammates just moments before kickoff at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. "Make some f*cking plays, play for each other, fly around and have fun. Let's go, boys."
The raw, unfiltered moment quickly went viral, igniting social media with reactions ranging from admiration to amusement. "That's my QB," one fan posted. Another added, "If that doesn't get you hyped, nothing will."
Chiefs vs. Bills, the best game of the season
Sunday's matchup marked yet another chapter in the growing rivalry between Allen and Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs had edged out the Bills 32-29 in last season's AFC Championship Game, adding fuel to Buffalo's fire.
While Allen boasted a 4-1 regular-season record against Mahomes, the postseason tells a different story-Mahomes is 4-0 when it matters most. CBS's Tony Romo, who called the game, summed up the anticipation perfectly: "If you don't get excited about this game, you don't know football."
Romo has been a vocal admirer of Allen's evolution this season. "He's at his perfect athletic prime," Romo said earlier this year. "He knows when to run, when not to. He's playing the quarterback position as well as I've almost seen it played."
Mahomes' Chiefs are on the rise
Mahomes, meanwhile, has been heating up as the Chiefs' offense regains its rhythm. "It all starts up front with the O-line," Mahomes said midweek. "If you have confidence, then you can go out there and throw it the way you want to throw it."
With both quarterbacks at the top of their game and a history of unforgettable matchups behind them, Sunday's game was never just another regular-season contest. It was a battle of wills, leadership, and legacy-and Allen's mic'd-up moment reminded everyone just how much it meant.
