Calvin Johnson praises Bills as AFC leaders over Chiefs
The Buffalo Bills are making waves in the NFL, and Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson, widely known as Megatron, believes they might finally be ready to surpass the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC hierarchy. In a recent conversation with football media personality Kay Adams on “Up & Adams,” Johnson provided a candid assessment of the current landscape in the league.
Johnson weighs in on the Chiefs’ struggles
Despite the Chiefs’ reputation as the reigning AFC champions, they have stumbled out of the gate this season, losing two of their first three games. With a challenging matchup against the powerful Baltimore Ravens looming, questions are swirling around Kansas City’s ability to reclaim their spot atop the conference. Johnson, however, is cautious about writing them off too soon.
“It’s too early to count them out,” he remarked, emphasizing that the season is still in its infancy. “It’s the first quarter of the season, but they could still have three good quarters and still be where they want at the end.” His respect for the talent embodied by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs is evident, even as they grapple with early-season adversity.
Bills on a roll
In stark contrast to Kansas City’s rocky start, the Bills are firing on all cylinders. With a perfect 3-0 record, they are clearly in the driver’s seat, and Johnson is quick to acknowledge their momentum. “If they’re playing today, Buffalo is kicking that ass,” he asserted, capturing the essence of their current dominance.
The Bills are not only performing well but also have a history of recent success against the Chiefs. Buffalo has won the last four regular-season matchups against Kansas City, although the Chiefs have maintained an edge in the postseason, winning all four playoff encounters since 2020.
Upcoming clash between titans
The Bills and Chiefs are set to clash on November 2 in what promises to be a pivotal Week 9 showdown. This matchup will be crucial, not just for playoff implications but also for establishing supremacy in the AFC. As the Bills continue to build on their strong start, all eyes will be on this highly anticipated game to see if they can maintain their momentum against a historically formidable opponent.
As the season unfolds, Johnson’s insights serve to highlight the shifting dynamics within the AFC, making the race for playoff positioning even more intriguing.
