The Kansas City Chiefs won’t be giving Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills any bulletin board material ahead of Sunday’s playoff matchup.
During this Wednesday’s press conference, Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones raved about Allen’s competitiveness and toughness.
“I mean, he’s a warrior,” Jones said, via Pro Football Talk. “You look at the plays he made last time we played them — he was going out of bounds and ended up throwing a 40-yarder running out of bounds off his back leg. He’s tough to bring down, a couple of times we had him wrapped up, and he still got rid of the ball.
“His competitiveness within his game, he can make any throw. He has a big arm. He also has talent around him, Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, [James] Cook, who has become a vital part of their offense later on here. I think they have been playing really well together.”

Allen was outstanding on Wild Card Weekend, racking up 203 passing yards, 74 rushing yards and four total touchdowns in a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
If the Chiefs want to punch their ticket to the AFC Championship for the sixth season in a row, they’ll need to stop Allen from being Superman. Of course, that’s easier said than done.
CBS will televise this Sunday’s clash between the Bills and Chiefs. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET.
