Thank you for that. Clearly, I didn't do homework first on this. I think I'm actually more surprised the situation is covered so well in the rule book than anything else.

So, if you challenge the spot and the referee changes the spot, don't you effectively win the challenge? For example, in last night's game, Cincinnati did NOT challenge that it was a first down. They simply challenged the SPOT. Since the referee DID advance the ball a foot or so forward of the original spot, shouldn't Cincinnati have retained the timeout that got burned on the "lost" challenge? The SPOT was advanced, so they WON the challenge, but they just didn't get the first down out of it they likely hoped for. Cincy is not challenging "it was a first down". They were challenging "the Spot". I think they should have kept their timeout. Anyone else have thoughts on this or even notice?

Clean up the numerous offensive penalties and Bills likely pull this game out.

Here's another (added to OP, too) from Buffalo Courier-Express ... fleshes it out a bit more ... https://www.newspapers.com/article/buffalo-courier-express-buffalo-courier/179897282/

This is a remarkable piece of history I stumbled upon while looking at old newspaper articles. The Buffalo Bills acquired Jack Kemp in September of 1962 due to a waiver mix-up by the San Diego Chargers. He was considered a "$50,000 property" at the time, but Buffalo obtained him for the $100 waiver fee and additionally had to win a coin toss vs. Texans, who also put in a waiver claim for Jack Kemp. Here is the article ... https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-buffalo-news-bills-steal-kemp-for-1/179809335/ Here's another ... the Buffalo Courier-Express got a telephone interview with Sid Gillman for this article! ... https://www.newspapers.com/article/buffalo-courier-express-buffalo-courier/179897282/ Also from Rochester Democrat and Chronicle ... https://www.newspapers.com/article/democrat-and-chronicle-rochester-democra/179898156/

Maybe their logo should match their team mascot ... "Brownie the Elf". Or, maybe not ...

I'm always reminded of this Snickers commercial when players get tattoos like this ...

Thanks for posting. Anyone else freeze the video on crowd shots looking for relatives or am I the only oddball that does this? My dad had season tickets throughout the 60s and I always try to see if I can spot him when the camera pans to the crowd - no luck yet.

Agree. However, I might like the idea if it was Buffalo, instead. The media could play Buffalo up as a Winter Wonderland every Christmas ... cameras at Holiday Valley showing skiers holding hot chocolates, ice skaters on the Buffalo Waterfront, snowball fights, Christmas lights & decorations in-and-around the city of Buffalo. Of course, the Bills might prefer not to be tied to a day like that - don't know. Why the Chiefs? Should be the Bills!

I wonder if she was talking about the yellow trim on the Chief's jerseys or the yellow flag in the ref's pocket? Both shades of yellow seem to work out quite well for the Chiefs.

Bills 34 Chiefs 16

Why not?! There's no salary cap when it comes to coaching staff. Brady would be worth it.

As I recall, Buffalo didn't sell out vs. Houston (The Comeback game). I think fans became a bit spoiled with the routine playoff appearances. Maybe that's what is happening with Chiefs fans? IDK.

Have to win AFC Championship and then have to win Super Bowl. There is no consolation prize for being close and nothing to feel good about short of a Lombardi trophy.

It's pretty simple really - make fewer mistakes than your opponent. McDermott's done a nice job of guiding the team this to this point. He doesn't need to do anything different or magical Sunday - he just needs to coach a good game and avoid any clock blunders and continue to rely on the fine coaching of Brady & Babich - both will need to implement adjustments as quickly as feasible throughout the game, when necessary. And special teams will need to perform well, too. I expect the Bills to win a hard-fought battle.
