Allen vs. Mahomes revisited as Bills face Chiefs once more

‘The Bills were questioned for trading up five spots to select Allen at No. 7, and ahead of Josh Rosen. Of the five quarterbacks — starting with Baker Mayfield going first — chosen in the first round in 2018, the strong-armed Allen was considered one of the bigger risks. He had issues with accuracy and was so overlooked on the college recruiting front the central California native wound up at Wyoming, of all places.’

‘As far as hotels go, if you don’t mind being by the airport, about a half-hour from the stadium, you can get a room for under $100. Closer to the stadium you can still find rooms under $200.’

Adversity plays a role in the Bills’ growth as they prepare to face a familiar foe

‘”When things are smooth and easy, you can get a little complacent at times,” Frazier said. “Then you don’t always grow when you don’t get challenged. I think it’s important to be challenged in life. I think it’s not a bad thing to have some adversity every now and then or experience difficult times because it forces growth if you handle it the right way.”‘
