The preparations are underway for the Buffalo Bills ahead of the AFC championship game. The Bills (13-4) have had their eye on Super Bowl 59 all year… and realistically, right next to that in the back of the team’s mind has been a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) in the postseason. That’s on deck.

Von Miller was a menace against his former team. Buffalo had limited Miller’s snaps all season long, but he saw an uptick in snaps on Wild Card Weekend. Miller created five pressures on just 16 pass-rush snaps (20 total) in the win earning him an 81.2 pass rush grade. Buffalo needs this from Miller throughout the entirety of the playoffs.

Unfortunately, the Buffalo Bills have a few names to watch on their injury report this week ahead of facing the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game.

ORCHARD PARK - A season-long trend, one in which the Buffalo Bills had been given ... perhaps its best linebacker, Matt Milano, is battling hamstring soreness; and its best safety, Taylor Rapp ...

Defensive tackle DaRon Payne (knee/finger) also didn't practice along with linebacker Bobby Wagner (ankle). Tight end Zach Ertz (ribs) had a rest day, along with pass rusher Dante Fowler Jr. (non injury related).

Milano (hamstring/elbow) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's road AFC Championship Game at Kansas City.

The Buffalo Bills will take on the Kansas City Chiefs for the fourth time in the last five playoffs--this time with a ticket to the Super Bowl on the line.
