Chiefs Postgame Notebook
‘Buffalo punter Chris Mohr completed a 44-yard pass to flyer Daryl Porter on a fake punt from the Bills’ 18 in the second quarter because the Chiefs had only 10 men on the field.’
Postseason plunge
‘Johnson may be a pocket passer and the most sacked quarterback in the NFL, but he escaped enough Sunday to beat the Chiefs and wound up as the Bills’ leading rusher with 41 yards.’
Anders needs to see more action
‘During KC’s 21-17 loss to Buffalo on Sunday, Anders averaged 10.3 yards per carry. Trouble is, he had only four carries.’
Cunningham gives play reviews thumbs down
‘Although he won one and lost another, Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham said, "I never liked the instant replay in the first place and I still don’t."’

Bills tear down wall

Bills will be desperate without a win today
‘The Bills are 4-3 in AFC games and 2-3 in the AFC East. Kansas City is 4-4 in the AFC. The Bills have little room for error, the Chiefs have none.’
Johnson has his job back, but he has a lot to prove
‘The most obvious is that he is sacked too often. He’s the most sacked quarterback in the NFL, which isn’t all his fault. It’s true that he holds the ball longer than he should, especially on third down when he tries too often to make the perfect play.’
Playing from behind
‘"A lot of people take their shots at Ronnie, but they don’t understand that he had a lot of young guys to work with when he got here," special teamer Raion Hill said. "When coach DeHaven was here he had been here a while. He had his own system implemented and had his own thing going. When you start something new, you just have to be patient and work with it."’
Bills could steal a win against K.C. defense that's slipped a notch
‘The toughness of this venue may be too much to overcome for this Bills team. . . . Chiefs, 24-20.’

‘Her name is Buffy, she’s a beagle mix, and she’s the newest member of the Ralph and Mary Wilson clan.’
Chiefs' playoff lives at stake today
‘The Chiefs might also be getting a break with Buffalo head coach Wade Phillips’ decision to reinsert Rob Johnson at quarterback after he missed most of the last four games with a sprained shoulder.’
