Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills will have a third shot at Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. That sets up a third playoff meeting against the Chiefs (12-6) in four seasons. A year later, the Chiefs beat the Bills 42-36 in overtime in the divisional round. Buffalo turned its season around at Kansas City in Week 14. In the last Bills-Chiefs playoff meeting, Mahomes rallied Kansas City to a tying field goal in regulation after Buffalo took a 36-33 lead with 13 seconds remaining.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Logan Eschrich came to Buffalo to witness the snowstorm, and he stayed for the shoveling on Sunday. Once the professional storm chaser saw the Buffalo Bills invite fans to help dig out a snow-filled Highmark Stadium for their delayed playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, now scheduled for Monday, Eschrich couldn’t resist. Stadium crews were unable to keep up with the falling snow, using blowers to uncover the yard lines. Today, it’s a cherished memory for Wood, in part because the win helped the Bills snap a 17-season playoff drought. One thing is certain for Tasker who, like Wood, is part of the Bills' radio broadcast team.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers will have to try and move on after a nightmarish loss to Arizona without quarterback Kenny Pickett. Pickett is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a high right ankle sprain on Monday. Tomlin declined to get into specifics on how many games Pickett might miss. He missed multiple games during his 2020 season at the University of Pittsburgh after having surgery on his left ankle. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft also took over against Jacksonville on Oct. 29 after Pickett left with a rib injury.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The momentary bliss-fueled blackouts that used to consume T.J. Watt after every big play still come. So maybe it's best to let others — like older brother J.J. Watt — serve as his hype men. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin called Watt “the best defensive player on the planet” on Tuesday. Pittsburgh safety Minkah Fitzpatrick — himself a three-time All-Pro — laughed when asked if he took Tomlin's praise of Watt personally. “I just want to continue to be the best player I can be for myself and for this team.”___

The Eagles are the fourth team in NFL history to win at least 10 of their first 11 games in back-to-back seasons.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers fired embattled offensive coordinator Matt Canada on Tuesday, two-plus years into a tenure in which the team struggled to generate points and yards with regularity. The Steelers (6-4) have remained in playoff contention in spite of an offense that ranks 28th in yards and points. Political Cartoons View All 1260 ImagesPerhaps most damning for Canada is the way quarterback Kenny Pickett's growth has stagnated. The emergence of the run game last winter fueled a 7-2 push that helped Canada keep his job.

The term may conjure the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mary, or the “immaculate reception” — the touchdown pass that carried the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory in the last seconds of a 1972 playoff game against the Oakland Raiders. But in economic terms, it is meant to imply that getting price increases down without a big pop in unemployment would be nearly miraculous. Inflation was so hot in 2022 that history suggested a recession would be necessary to quash it.

Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports Acquire Licensing RightsNov 15 (Reuters) - Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending surgery on a broken bone in his throwing shoulder, the National Football League (NFL) team said on Wednesday in a move that deals a major blow to their playoff hopes. Watson had an MRI on Monday that revealed he had a displaced fracture to the glenoid in his right shoulder and team doctors determined he required immediate surgery to avoid further structural damage, the Browns said in a statement. According to the Browns, the 28-year-old Watson is expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2024 NFL season. Another MRI on Monday revealed Watson also suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Ravens game.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will miss the rest of his second season in Cleveland with a fracture in his throwing shoulder, an injury that came in his best performance since joining the team following a controversial trade. Watson will undergo surgery to repair a non-displaced fracture in his right shoulder, which happened Sunday when he was hit in the first quarter at Baltimore. Now, Watson will have to work his way back from a shoulder injury with just three seasons left on his deal. Watson missed time earlier this season with a strained rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder, and it's not yet known if that injury contributed to the fracture. Coach Kevin Stefanski is expected to go with Walker the rest of the way, but the Browns could consider signing a veteran free agent.

Tennessee rookie quarterback Will Levis played well in his second NFL start but couldn't match the electricity of his first, a four-touchdown masterpiece against Atlanta. The Titans said Burks had full movement in all his extremities, it was reported on the Amazon TV broadcast. The Titans responded to take a 13-10 halftime lead behind some poised play by Levis and Derrick Henry's unique brand of fury. Inside linebacker Cole Holcomb was carted off in the first quarter with what appeared to be a serious left knee injury.
