WEBVTT - Bills By The Numbers: Dissecting Possible Wild Card Matchups 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:01.040 Happy New Year. 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:03.520 It's Bills by the Numbers, where we let the stats 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:05.240 tell you where the Bills are at. We're presented by 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:08.360 a fanuel make every moment more with the playoffs on 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.479 the horizon. What is Buffalo's most likely wild card matchup? 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.160 Which AFC playoff opponents are the best and worst matchups 0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:21.280 for the Bills? And will have our one burning question? 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:38.479 Time to settle up happy twenty twenty six Bills Mafia 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.200 Glader along for the ride here on Bills by the Numbers, 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.520 Bills Wall of Famers, Steet Tasker, Bill's play by play 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.360 man Chris Brown here with you and the Bill's path 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.680 to the playoffs will be a bit different this season, 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.800 as it will not include a home game, at least 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.960 here at the outset. Each of the previous five seasons, 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.680 Buffalo began the playoffs with a home game by virtue 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.880 of their division winning seasons. The last time they played 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.240 a road playoff game was in twenty nineteen, when a 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.880 sixteen to seven lead at Houston evaporated in an overtime 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.280 loss to the Texans twenty two to nineteen. Buffalo has 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.559 not won a road playoff game since the nineteen ninety 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.680 two AFC Title Game in Miami. We all know it's 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.120 one game at a time, but Buffalo will need to 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:28.480 win three road games in a row to advance to 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.679 the Super Bowl. Assess for me, if you will, mister Tasker, 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.920 the path this team has to take to get to 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:36.759 the Promised Land. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.400 It's a big ask. There's no question about it. Going 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.560 on the road and beating three really good football teams. 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:47.600 It's just it's a real, really rare feat. It's hard 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.880 to go into a really good football team's house and 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.720 beat them. We know that from being here in High Mark. 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.520 So to do it three times to get to the 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:59.680 Super Bowl, that's that's a rough go. But yeah, you 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.680 do match up well with You're not gonna be afraid 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.440 of any of the matchups now, barring any further injuries 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.840 than they've already sustained throughout the course of the regular season, 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.360 barring anymore that You're gonna like your matchup with any 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.680 of the teams left in the tournament, no question about it. 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.799 You're gonna feel good about it. Josh gives you an edge. 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:17.960 Your running game gives you an edge. Your offensive line 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.960 is good. Your defense has found ways in games here 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.240 in the last month to be very effective, very effective, 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:31.640 stifling almost so if you get into on these road games, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.480 the one thing that you can't do, you cannot turn 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:40.280 the ball over. Even Jacksonville in their resurgence here of late, 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.600 their defense is playing great. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:42.480 Is doing their number one defense. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:43.560 They've got the ball. 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.160 They got thirty takeaways over the last stretch. So it's 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.959 if you don't turn it over. The Bills have good 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.840 enough players and a good enough roster to beat any 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:54.640 of these teams. 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.400 Your team in ninety two had to go on the road. 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.400 Now was one game two you won two? Yeah, I 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.240 believe you're won two road playoff games that you lost 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.720 the division and you had to go to Pittsburgh and 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.360 then Miami Pittsburgh to advance to the Super Bowl. The 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.280 playoff pool was smaller. You only had to win two 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.960 road games. Now you got to win three. 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.040 That team won the playoff game in Pittsburgh with backup 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.000 quarterback Frank Wright. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.320 Yeah, it's twenty to six. It can be done. 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:31.120 Yeah, it is possible. While at the time of this taping, 0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.880 the playoff seedings are not yet set, we do have 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.040 the likelihood of where the Bills will end up courtesy 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.280 of next gen stats, there is currently, prior. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.640 To Week eighteen play a thirty. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.040 Eight percent chance that Buffalo will be the number six seed. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.200 To create that outcome, the Texans and Bills would win 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.920 and the Chargers would lose. La Is at Denver this weekend, 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.839 and head coach Jim Harbaugh has already said they will 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.120 not start quarterback Justin Herbert as they are choosing rest 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:03.040 over in proving their seeding. That would likely send the 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.680 Bills to Jacksonville, a team Buffalo has never beaten in 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.200 the postseason. They are zero to two lifetime, having lost 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.680 in nineteen ninety six thirty to twenty seven in Jim 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:16.040 Kelly's last game of his career, and in Sean McDermott's 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.240 first season ten to three when the Bills broke the 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:24.440 seventeen year playoff drought. Jaguars are a hot team right now, winners. 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.160 Of seven straight. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.600 This would pit the number one rushing team in actually 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.359 the number two rushing team in the league. Let me 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.920 correct that, because Baltimore has overtaken Buffalo the number two 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.320 rushing team in the league against the number one rush 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:43.240 defense in football. Jacksonville also second in takeaways. As Steve 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:48.080 mentioned this season, with thirty through seventeen games. Your thoughts 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.160 on that potential matchup. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.640 I'm okay with any of them going to Jacksonville. The 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.120 weather will be good. It's a good track. They have 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.720 got a great field. It's outdoors, it'll be honey warm. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:02.960 It'll be a refreshing trip for these guys to go 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.440 down there. As crazy as that sounds, you get off 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:10.600 the plane down in Florida and you just soak it in. Man, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.839 it feels good. It feels like and too because it 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.919 feels good for the body. It feels great. Because I 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.159 was laughing. We used to practice outside in it. You know, 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.680 they're they're got the fieldhouse now and it's very nice. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:24.760 It used to feel like you were playing almost with 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.800 no uniform on. It's like you were nude. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.000 It was because you were had to bundle up and 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.120 practice up here. 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:31.080 And you practice up. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.560 Here, you've got everything, everything, piece of clothing in your 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.360 locker you're wearing, and you go out and practice like that, 0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:38.960 sweatpants like you've seen. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.160 You've seen Jordan Phillips. 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.400 And where's this winter coat with a hood? 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:43.320 That's what you do. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.080 So think about doing that and then going down with 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.160 nothing but a t shirt on under your paths, let's go. 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.560 It feels great. It really feels like a lot of fun. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.280 And so that's Jacksonville. And you know, you're always gonna 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.839 play a good team in the playoffs no matter what 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.400 you you. It's about the match. And I like the 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.520 Bills chances against teams who don't play against this quarterback 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.960 very often. I like it so and I'm not saying 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.799 we're going to absolutely go down there because they're playing 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.719 really well right now. In their defense is their strong point, 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.279 and that's the problem for them. It's a little bit 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.120 like the Atlanta team, and it's a little bit like 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:23.599 the Cleveland Team's a little bit like those teams that 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.400 have that defense. The Houston team, they hang their hat 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.479 on their defense and their offense is do it now. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.640 Their offense has played well. But you know, you can't 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:34.360 be there's no matchup in this tournament any of these 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.560 teams are ever going to be afraid of. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.039 I do like the fact that the Jaguars have to 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.760 play to win this week because they need to win 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.479 in Week eight team to hold off Houston for the 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.680 AFC South Division title. By staying a game ahead of them, 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.920 Jacksonville would lose a tiebreaker to the Texans if they 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.080 finish with the same one loss record, and Houston would 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.000 take the AFC South. Now, look, they're playing the Titans, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.000 so the game might be decided by halftime and they 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.520 can pull their starters then, But I like that Jacksonville 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.599 has to play to win that game. And as we've said, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.920 long winning streaks are hard to maintain, and the Jags 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.560 have won seven in a row. Defensively, they cannot get 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.840 off the field on third down, and their pass rush 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.200 for whatever reason, has not been as good as it's 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.560 been in the years past. I think it's a winnable 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.680 game for Buffalo, but Jacksonville, for some strange reason, has 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.040 proven to be a difficult place for the Bills to 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.200 score points. Everyone remembers that weird nine to six game 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.680 Buffalo lost in twenty twenty one to the Urban Meyer 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:38.760 coach Jaguars. 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:40.320 They've got to rise. 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:45.000 Above that and play solid three phase football. The next 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.920 most likely landing spot for the Bills is the seventh 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:51.320 seed according to Next Gen Stats at thirty five percent. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.360 Only the Chargers have a greater chance of finishing in 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.080 the seventh hole at fifty one percent. A seven seed 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.520 finish with likely send the Bills to New England for 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.440 the wild card round. The Bills split with the Patriots, 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:09.960 with both teams winning on the road in one possession outcomes. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.440 New England twenty three to twenty on a last second 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.400 field goal. In Week five, Buffalo thirty five thirty one 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.800 in a comeback from twenty one points down to match 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:23.679 their largest road comeback in team history. In Week fifteen, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.200 New England has sustained a few more injuries of late. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.920 Mac Hollins joined Milton Williams, Kiris Tonga and Joshua Farmer, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.360 all defensive linemen on injured reserve. They're hoping to get 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.440 left tackle Will Campbell back. He did not play in 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.480 the week fifteen meeting against Buffalo. What can be said 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.120 about playing a division opponent a third time in a season? 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.760 You've done it, your team's did it with Miami. 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.000 It's certainly you feel better about it now that you split. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.840 Even if you would have beaten them twice, you'd be like, 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.360 you know, hard to beat a team. It's hard to 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.960 beat a team three times, having split with them both 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.800 one possession games. Remember the game in week of fifteen. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:08.760 Was it? 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:09.760 Well? 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:10.560 That was a comeback game. 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.559 Yeah, unbelievable comeback by the Bills. But you know, and 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.959 it's hard. It's hard to get up on top of 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:22.280 a team in their own building. Yeah, I don't know 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.560 what I would feel about that. Certainly the Patriots. I mean, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.040 they're as hated arrival as the Bills have in the 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.559 current point in history, and it's true for a lot 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:34.319 of teams around the league. But man, I don't know 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:38.800 that they're playing an extremely high level offensively. Drake May 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:44.320 is just as efficient as he can be. Just because 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:45.119 of the Patriots. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:46.679 I don't know. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.880 Like I said, I'm neither here nor there with any 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.760 of these matchups. I think I like Jacksonville better because 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.040 it'll be in better weather, it'll be better conditions, and 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.959 I think our guys will thrive in that where they 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.960 have been battling it and it'll feel like they have 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.840 one less thing going against them in that game with 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.199 the conditions. But I have no qualms about going to 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:11.160 any of these teams. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:15.240 The Patriots are fifth in scoring, the Bills are sixth. 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.760 New England has the number four offense. The Bills have 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.920 the number five offense. The Patriots defense has slipped in 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.600 recent weeks. Due partly to the injuries, particularly to their 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.559 defensive front, while Buffalo's defense seems to be peaking at 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:33.240 the right time. I don't love playing the Patriots a 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.560 third time, and I've got an awful lot of respect 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.160 for Drake May, but there might be some benefit to 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:42.320 the familiarity. The last time the Bills played a division 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:45.080 opponent on the road in the Wildcard round of the 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.520 playoffs was nineteen ninety nine, when Buffalo played at Miami 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.679 and lost to the Dolphins twenty four to seventeen. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.959 Finally, the third most likely outcome for. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.960 The Bills in the wildcard seating is the five seed. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.360 Tennessee and Indianapolis would both have to be Jacksonville and Houston, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.160 with Denver beating the Chargers and Buffalo winning over the Jets. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.679 According to Next Gen Stats, twenty seven percent chance of 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.880 that happening. In this case, they would face the AFC 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.880 North winner, that being either Baltimore or Pittsburgh, whose Sunday 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:23.040 Night in Pittsburgh won the first meeting in Baltimore in 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:26.320 Week fourteen twenty seven to twenty two. But the Steelers 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.720 will be without dk Metcalf tight end Darnell Washington in 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.959 this game, and TJ. Watt is a question mark after 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.160 a punctured lung. So who would you rather face if 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.240 this scenario on folds, Baltimore Pittsburgh. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.000 Baltimore's playing really hot right now. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.080 Pittsburgh has always had that feeling the entire season of 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.560 their tread and water and they're doing it just they're 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.600 just hanging on by the skin of their teeth. 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:50.800 Now. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:56.280 Certainly Aaron Rodgers is going to find a way to 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.920 figure it out that he's going to get the most 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.160 out of whatever they have of Darnell Washington is a 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:03.240 loss for that team. 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.160 Teacher's still trying to get Calvin Austin, their speed receiver, 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:08.440 back from a hamstring injury. 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:09.080 They're beat up. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.040 Yeah, Pittsburgh is. Pittsburgh is a little bit of a 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.920 hot mess right now. They're still kind of hanging in there, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.960 no question about it, but they just took it on 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.880 the chin from the Cleveland Browns. They seem to be 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.480 fading at the stretch. If they find a way to 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.880 beat Baltimore now that everything changes, I mean, that's that's 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:26.640 a different kind. 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:28.800 Of team you would think if they beat Baltimore. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.600 And there's the Lamar Jackson question too, is he playing 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.520 and what shape is he in if he is, because 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.400 he didn't play the previous week against Green Bay, Yeah, 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.640 a game that they rode Derek Henry for over two 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:40.360 hundred yards. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:45.000 So yeah, it'll be interesting. It comes down. I still 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:49.680 think Baltimore they're rallying around their backup quarterback Huntly, They're 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.480 gonna play really hard, and they're gonna be in Pittsburgh. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.400 So if they can go into Pittsburgh and beat the 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.480 Steelers like that, well the steel you know. I just 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:03.320 I just think Baltimore's I think Baltimore's just a freight trainer. 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.040 I don't think there's any way they lose this game 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:05.600 this weekend. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.720 I feel like both of these teams have kind of 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.679 slogged their way through the season, Like it's hard to 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.680 know if Lamar Jackson is going to be fully healthy 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.079 in that game or the rest of the way if 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.680 they happen to win and qualify for the playoffs. But 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.520 they've leaned back on their run game, and Baltimore is 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.400 very quietly, as I said earlier, overtaking the Bills as 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.120 the number one rushing team in football. After Derek Henry's 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:30.760 two hundred plus yard effort at Green Bay in Week seventeen. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:34.559 I don't feel like the Steelers have anyone on their 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:39.120 roster like Derrick Henry or Lamar Jackson at any position, 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.560 and for that reason, I'd rather face the Steelers if 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.960 this seeding scenario were to play out. Time to swing 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.319 things over to the Numbers game, where Steve will be 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:57.080 quizzed on Bills playoff trivia. Let's do it, all, right, Steve. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:14:02.880 Question number one, what are the most points ever scored 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:08.280 by the Bills in a road playoff game? Uh? 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.120 Thirty whatever, I'm gonna safe. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.840 Whatever we scored in the championship game against the Dolphins 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:15.600 in ninety two. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.360 That was twenty nine to ten the final. You want 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.560 to go with that, Yeah, I'll go with that. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:25.440 That is incorrect on a road playoff game in Bill's history. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:28.640 I will give you a hint. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:29.920 It's in the sixties or something. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.480 No, it was. 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.520 Actually a loss. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.560 Most points scored the road playoffs. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.880 Oh, it was in Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns game nineteen 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:40.360 eighty ninety. 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.440 That was thirty four to thirty. But it is incorrect. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.560 I don't know who is it. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.200 It's the thirteen to second game. 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:51.880 Oh, forty two, thirty six in overtime thirty six points 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.520 at Kansas City in twenty twenty one. Question number two, 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.040 what two AFC teams have the Bills faced in the 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.440 playoffs on the road most often? 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.160 AFC teams on the road most often. 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.240 There's two that are tied, and it's three times each 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.000 they have faced these teams on the road in the 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.040 postseason in. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.080 The Tennessee slash Houston. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.960 It is not Tennessee slash Houston or even or not. That's 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.440 only twice if you add them together. Miami, not Miami, 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.080 which would have been my guess. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.800 I was surprised by this, which is why I thought 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:36.080 it was. 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:36.520 A good question. 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:48.760 San Diego, not San Diego only twice. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.640 Gotta be Indianapolis. 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.000 It is not Indianapolis, see because they used to be 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.720 an ordivision I taught in Media League. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.320 Indianapolis didn't make the playoffs. 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:01.520 Kansas City. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.720 Kansas City has won thanks to the most recent team 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:07.280 going there in every stink in. 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:12.000 Year, Kansas City and the Jets. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:17.520 It's actually Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Pittsburgh. Question number three, 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:22.000 what is the highest team rushing yardage total for the 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.240 Bills in a playoff game in their history? And I 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.320 will give you a hint. You played in that game, 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.000 Kansas City Chiefs. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.840 Champion Championship game, Thurman Thomas Boss. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.320 No, there's one that was more. 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.680 Miami Dolphin's down there the championship game. 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.280 You have the right team, you have the wrong game. 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:45.320 Thirty four, forty four to thirty four snow game. 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:46.920 Nope, it's not that game. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:51.760 It's December thirtieth, nineteen ninety five against Miami Bills win 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.280 thirty seven to twenty two. You want to guess the run, 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.120 give me the guests on the rushing yardage total because. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.800 It was fat was in the wild card round. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:05.680 Yeah, down there here nineteen ninety five. 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.040 I think Timmy Tindale, he had a big game game, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.639 Timmy Day, tim Tindale's. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.560 Let's go the Canadian comet. Love it. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.359 Ah. He wasn't alone. 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:20.040 I gotta be gotta be two between two twenty five, 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:20.679 two fifty. 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.239 It's almost one hundred yards more than that. Really, I 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.159 was stunned by this. The Bills ran for three hundred 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.520 and forty one yards go against the Miami Dolphins on 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:37.560 December thirtieth, nineteen nine hours today. Timmy Tyndale with sixty 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:38.640 eight rushing. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.600 Yards Derek Holds. 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:45.800 With eighty seven rushing yards and Thurman Thomas with one 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:50.560 fifty eight three hundred forty one rushing yards on the ground. 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:56.800 Question number four in the Sean McDermott era, which AFC 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:01.600 club have the Bills beaten the most in the post season? 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.720 Sean McDermott era only. 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.320 Oh gosh, beating the most. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.919 We're only talking about a nine year stretch here. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.160 Pittsburgh. It is not Pittsburgh. 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.760 Who they even play Baltimore twice? 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.320 It is Baltimore And the answer is twice. I've beaten 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:33.240 them twice in the playoffs. Wow, there you go, Divisional 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.960 round for both games last year. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.040 And in twenty twenty, the COVID year. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:40.560 So the COVID year. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.399 The numbers game three hundred and forty one rushing yards. 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:48.840 Holy moly, unbelievablely snapped off a fifty plus yard touchdown 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.280 right then finished with sixty eight. 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.200 That's great, unbelievable rushing total. My eyes popped out of 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.719 my head when I saw that.

Time now for our one 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:19.520 burning question, and we looked ahead to the postseason and 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.960 ask who will have more rushing touchdowns in Buffalo's wild 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:30.080 card playoff game, Josh Allen or James Cook. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:38.200 Hmm, I'll say I'll say Josh. 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.760 Okay, yeah, just because I think they'll get I think 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:44.760 they'll get in close and we'll get him close, and 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:46.320 they'll put the ball in the hands of their best 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:49.440 player and turn him loose. Now, you know, there's a 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.240 ton of stuff could go wrong, but I think that's 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.760 a good question. It's a good question. I think how 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:57.879 many times will they both have a rushing touchdown in 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.280 a game would be a good question too, I think because. 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.280 They're going to hand it to James Cook in these rights. 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.080 And this is that year. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:06.359 And the other thing too, is. 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.560 They've both been neck and neck all season long with 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.760 multiple rushing touchdown games. I think Josh has five, right 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:18.840 and Cook has four if I remember right from the 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.159 last time I looked that up. It may have changed 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.760 since the last time I checked, but they're both doing 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.840 a job right on the ground this season. Just for 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.240 the sake of argument, I'll say James has more rushing 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.960 touchdowns in Buffalo's wildcard playoff game. 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.560 Hopefully they both have a bunch. Hopefully James has three 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:38.800 and Josh has two. That would be nice. I'll take that. 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:45.159 Because I think it would be an appropriate representation of 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:46.359 what this season has been like. 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:50.119 On offense. Josh has fourteen rush and James has twelve 0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:51.040 On the season. 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:54.200 They've been neck and neck all season long. Our closing 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:58.919 figure deals with James Cook's quest for the first rushing 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.920 title in his career. He currently has a forty seven 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.159 yard lead on the Colts Jonathan Taylor, and he's just 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:08.560 one hundred and thirty seven yards ahead of the Ravens 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.480 Derrick Henry, who is back in the race after going 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.440 for over two hundred at Green Bay in Week seventeen. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:19.560 If Cook finishes atop the league's rushers, he'll secure the 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.879 first rushing title for the Bills since OJ Simpson in 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:27.920 nineteen seventy six. That'll do it for this episode. Be 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.720
