"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.

Patrick Mahomes [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/patrick-mahomes/] is in hot waters after his sideline tirade against an NFL official during the Kansas City Chiefs’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs-nfl/] week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/buffalo-bills/]. The epic showdown’s penultimate moments saw the Chiefs breaking into a synchronized gridiron dance to score the final TD. But it was negated due to an offside penalty on Kadarius Toney. What followed next was a sideline screaming match between an NFL official and Mahomes. Complete with helmet smashing and all. Mahomes followed it up by expressing that he wasn’t happy with the decision, only to retrace his steps two days later and agree with the call. Also joining the bandwagon was Chiefs’ head coach, Andy Reid, who expressed his displeasure with the call. PATRICK MAHOMES AND ANDY REID FACE NFL FINES FOR OFFICIATING REMARKS Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs’ head honcho Andy Reid are being fined for their attack on NFL officials. NFL sleuth Dov Kleiman, hitting up ‘X,’ tweeted, “𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: The NFL has fined #Chiefs [https://twitter.com/hashtag/Chiefs?src=hashtag_click] QB Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid for their comments on the officiating after losing to the #Bills [https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bills?src=hashtag_click] last week, per Mike Florio.” Revolutionize Colorado Further After Recruitment Masterclass [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-ncaa-news-shedeur-spills-the-beans-on-deion-sanders-mega-plans-to-revolutionize-colorado-further-after-recruitment-masterclass/] The tweet also featured an image of the HC-QB duo in action. Interestingly, Mahomes, in his statement apologizing to the NFL, agreed to accept any form of punishment the board saw fit. And this is how the board dropped the hammer on their officiating comments. Watch this Story: Coach Jim Harbaugh Sets The Record Straight On Michigan’s Sign-Stealing Incident [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nfl-news-coach-jim-harbaugh-sets-the-record-straight-on-michigans-sign-stealing-incident/] 

Patrick Mahomes and Reid over officiating comments. Explore the fallout from the epic clash as league enforcement takes center stage!

"If you stumble, make it part of the dance." While a little out of context from
this quote, years back I stumbled across the vibrant dynamics of football, and
its Red Army became part of my world. Since then, the Kansas City Chiefs have
been the team I find therapeutic solace in. Even when they get my blood boiling
and my voice screaming sometimes, the comfort of watching the colors of red and
white light the stadium gets me bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The element that
is clearly reflected in my writing. Thus, I often find myself more inclined
toward the on-field aspect of the game. From analysis and possibilities to
championships and injuries, the gameplay never fails to teach me something new.
This meander has definitely helped me in my articles as a writer as I have been
able to grab the attention of thousands of readers. To be honest, this passion
for the gridiron has also been a part of my personal life as well. It is
especially evident when I find myself engrossed in the world of dance and
fiction because the devotion remains the same!

<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>

<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>
