On Sunday, the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs will be playing one of the season’s most-anticipated matchups. They’ll be traveling to Highmark Stadium in western New York, where they mean to extend their season record to 10-0 against the 8-2 Buffalo Bills.

The national narrative about this game is likely to be focused on the Bills winning their last three regular-season games against Kansas City — but in Buffalo, the team (and its fans) will probably be thinking about the last matchup between these clubs: last season’s Divisional round playoff game, when the Chiefs came into Orchard Park as 2.
