"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." These words by Toni Morrison sum up why I got into writing after being an avid reader for most of my childhood. After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read. Despite being a software engineer, the will to keep on writing got me involved with poetry and later content creation. 

The additional desire for storytelling and my history of athletics paved the way for EssentiallySports. With the dream to return to my athletic roots and absorb as much knowledge as I can, I am grateful to keep on learning new things every day about various sports.

Despite being more of an off-court reader, the thrill that game coverage instilled within me got me more involved with the NFL. Even though the stories revolving around the NFL are very intriguing, the hype and energy of the games is the literal cherry on top for me. When I am not immersed in NFL gameplays and off-court stories, I am usually lost in writing poems, cooking, and playing with colors.

The last week was a tumultuous one! Not only for the Buffalo Bills [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/buffalo-bills/] but the fans as well with heavy snowfall, traveling restrictions, and an emergency being declared. Hence the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/] was postponed. Will the same happen in the divisional playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/]? The divisional playoff game is set to take place between one of the oldest and hotly contested rivalries in the AFC. However, with the weather not improving and snow falling, the Bills have called on for additional help from the fanbase. BUFFALO BILLS KNEE-DEEP IN SNOW The temperatures for the game are predicted to be around 18 degrees and will fall further as the game progresses. However, the unrelenting snow has been causing issues for the staff at the Highmark Stadium. They have called on volunteers to assist in the shoveling program. As the Highmark Stadium is around 50 years old, it lacks the cutting-edge technology that many other stadiums possess. Especially the underground heaters, which help in the snow-melting process.

The snow shoveling will be a tiring process and will require help from the Bills Mafia. But will these conditions help the Bills against the Chiefs as it did against the Steelers? THE CHIEFS ARE USED TO THE HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS One of the coldest games in several years was played this season between the Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins. As the temperatures get low in Kansas City, the team is used to perform in cold conditions. But the Chiefs will be worried about their record. The Buffalo Bills take on the Chiefs [https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/RIjW52m2i4JBGnrKJ5wB1NyBRWQ=/0x0:5256x3504/1200x800/filters:focal(1960x1643:2800x2483)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73065529/1926591714.0.jpg] The Bills and the Chiefs have met 55 times and the Bills lead the series 29-24-1. They even defeated the reigning champions in the regular season. However, the last time the Chiefs and the Bills met in the playoffs, it was the red and white team that took the victory. Who will win the upcoming contest? The Buffalo Bills or the Kansas City Chiefs? Let us know your predictions.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Buffalo Bills 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) and joined the ranks of the NFL in 1970 following the NFL-AFL merger. They are the only NFL club that plays its home games in the state of New York. The franchise is owned by Terry and Kim Pegula who picked up the majority ownership tag following the death of the original owner Ralph Wilson back in 2014.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497552 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230195043/buffalo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<p style="text-align: center">The franchise won two AFL championships back in 1964 and 1965, and these chips stand as the only major professional sports championships from a team representing Buffalo. Chiefly, the Bills found heightened success between 1990 and 1993 when they appeared in a record-setting four straight Super Bowls. However, they would go on to lose all four games.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This unparalleled success was followed by a meaningful active playoff drought making them the last NFL franchise and the last in the four major leagues to qualify for a post-season in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. The club seems to have found its footing under Head Coach Sean McDermott however, the Bills still remain the only AFC East team to have never won a Super Bowl.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497555 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230195135/flagrancy.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="600" />
<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 campaign of the Buffalo Bills was a resounding success as they improved on their 2019 record of 10-6 by finishing off the regular season with a 13-3 run placing 1st in the AFC East. The Bills beat the Colts 27-24 in the Wild Card Playoffs as well as the Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens 17-3.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, the Bills lost the AFC championships match-up to the Kansas City Chiefs 24-28 and faltered to turn in a trip to the Super Bowl.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The current logo for the Bills is a blue leaping buffalo with a red beam running down the middle. This has been the franchise logo since 1974. Turning back the clock, the Bills original logo depicts two football players sunning alongside several buffaloes. This logo lasted from 1960 to 1961 and was subsequently changed in 1962.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497560 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230195212/world-1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="821" />
<p style="text-align: center">The next logo depicts a brown football encompassing a Bills Player running beside a buffalo. The next change came in 1970 and led up all the way up to the modern iteration. The 1970-1973 logo saw the Bills adopt an all-red silhouette of a standing buffalo facing right.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Terrance Michael Pegula is an American billionaire businessman with a vested interest in entertainment, real estate, and natural gas development.

<p style="text-align: center">On September 14, 2014, news broke that Pegula had placed the winning bid to purchase the Buffalo Bills, a sale that went live following the death of the original owner and team founder Ralph Wilson.
