Many fans have wondered why the Buffalo Bills can’t get over the Kansas City Chiefs sized road block in the AFC. They have arguably the most talented quarterback in the NFL that always puts up a ton of points against Kansas City, and the games are always close. But why can’t Buffalo ever put the bow on their work and end it with a win? Well, we saw why in the Super Bowl.

The Philadelphia Eagles and their defensive line abused Patrick Mahomes all game. Vic Fangio’s unit was able to get pressure with four all night, and it resulted in one of the biggest blowouts in Super Bowl history. Mahomes was sacked six times and threw two interceptions, which led to the offense not having as much pressure on them, but still being able to pile on the points.

The Eagles’ biggest weapon is something the Bills have never had, and it’s been evident in all of their playoff meetings. Buffalo can’t ever get pressure on Mahomes with four pass rushers. The Eagles, on the other hand, got a ton of pressure with four early on, and it threw off everything about the Chiefs’ offense and prevented them from getting into any sort of flow.

This was the ultimate sign for Brandon Beane and the Bills’ front office – go make a splash. Trade for Myles Garrett. Trade for Maxx Crosby. Trade for Micah Parsons. Trade for Trey Hendrickson. Do something. 

On top of that, get players on the interior who can also get to the quarterback. Watch what the likes of Josh Sweat, Milton Williams, Jordan Daniels, and the rest of the Eagles defensive front did and replicate it to the best of your ability. Josh Allen is great, but we’ve seen time and time again that if you can’t make Mahomes uncomfortable, it doesn’t matter. Trade for at least one superstar, find interior linemen who can get to the quarterback, and finally get over that mountain you’ve been climbing for so long.
