A conference championship appearance is on the line, and this time, it won't be decided by a coin toss.

The Buffalo Bills are hosts this time against the Kansas City Chiefs in a divisional-round rematch nearly two years to the day after an incredible postseason clash between these two teams.

That night, in Kansas City, the Bills allowed a game-tying field goal drive with 13 seconds remaining in regulation. The Chiefs went on to win the overtime coin toss, march down the field and score a game-winning touchdown on their first possession.

It was the second year in a row Kansas City eliminated Buffalo from the postseason.

Now, with new rules in the NFL playoffs, both teams would have a chance to possess the ball in an overtime situation.

Still, the context of the last playoff duel between two of the NFL's best young quarterbacks – Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes – can shed some light on how much this game means for each team.
