TMZ

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs just know how to win ... and that’s why Warren Moon is giving the quarterback a "slight edge" over the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, even with Josh Allen playing lights out this season.

00:00It's going to come right down to the end like they all have, you know, the bills have had

00:06the Chiefs number during the regular season, but the Chiefs have had the Bills number during

00:10the playoffs.

00:11And it always comes down to a significant play in the fourth quarter some way, somehow.

00:16I was at the game when Josh Allen left 13 seconds on the clock and they're three points

00:22ahead and all of a sudden Patrick Mahomes takes him down the field, gets the field goal

00:26and they go into overtime and they never see the ball again.

00:29So these are the type of games that it's going to be when these two go against each other.

00:34I think Josh Allen is playing really good football.

00:36I think the key is going to be the team that takes best care of the football.

00:39The Chiefs have always been the team that did that in the playoffs.

00:43If the Buffalo Bills can really protect the ball the way they have the last two playoff

00:48games, I think they have a chance to win this football game because whoever has the ball

00:53doesn't create those short fields for the other team, doesn't give the ball to the other

00:58football team.

00:59I think it's going to be the one that has the best chance to win.

01:02Warren, Josh and Patrick are both going to be Hall of Famers.

01:06A lot of people have already said they think Patrick is the greatest quarterback of all

01:10time.

01:11Certainly, I think a lot of people would say that if they're able to complete this threepeat

01:15here.

01:16Josh Allen, they're likely going to be the MVP of the league this year.

01:20Who would you take?

01:21Who do you want going into this game on Sunday?

01:23I know it's an impossible choice, but who has the quarterback advantage for this game

01:26this Sunday?

01:28Well, I think you have to go with Patrick Mahomes just because of his history.

01:31I mean, this is a guy who has been to seven straight AFC championship games since he started.

01:37He's been in this game.

01:38You know, he lost to Brady and he lost to Burrow, otherwise, it would be five Super

01:43Bowls.

01:44If he goes this year, it would be five Super Bowls and he's got, what, three already now

01:49in four years.

01:50So, you know, he's got the advantage.

01:52He's playing at home.

01:53He's got the crowd behind him.

01:55This is a team that just knows how to win.

01:58They know how to find ways to win.

01:59They've done it the whole season long, so they're battle-tested.

02:02They have the callus from playing in tough football games.

02:05So I don't think it'll be anything different for them if this game goes right down to the

02:09end because most of their games have gone that way this year.

02:12So I'd have to give Patrick a slight edge, but the Bills are playing so good right now.

02:19Josh Allen is playing out of his mind.

02:21He's taking care of the football, something that he hasn't always done in the past.

02:24And I think that's the difference in his game this year.

02:27He's spreading the ball around a lot of different people, not feeling like he has to be Superman

02:31every time he has the ball.

02:33And I think that's why they've had so much success.

02:35Warren, how don't the Bills convince themselves that something is not going to break right

02:43for them?

02:44Just like you said, with 13 seconds left, and it looked like finally the Bills had won.

02:49They were advancing and we know what happened.

02:51I mean, is that in the back of their heads?

02:55I mean, do they feel like no matter how well we play, something is just not going to go

02:58right for us and we're going to lose?

03:01How do they guard against that, you know, thinking like that before this game?

03:05Well, you hope they have a different mindset coming into this one just because of the way

03:08they've played this year.

03:10They played a different brand of football, like it hasn't been all Josh Allen and you

03:14guys come follow me.

03:15It's been a whole team effort.

03:17Their defense has played well.

03:18They've created turnovers.

03:19They do come into this game a little banged up on defense.

03:22They've got some guys that they're not going to have on that side of the ball.

03:25That kind of concerns me a little bit.

03:27But I think coming in, they feel like this is a different team than what we had last

03:30year.

03:31There's a lot of confidence with them, especially the way they beat the Ravens last week.

03:35A lot of people thought the Ravens would even beat them, even though they were playing at

03:39home, but they handled them.

03:41So I think that game gave them a tremendous amount of confidence.

03:44And now they feel like they can go into Arrowhead and win this football game because they know

03:48the last time they played the Chiefs, which was this regular season, they beat the Chiefs.

03:52So they have that in their mind as well.

03:56Before we move on to the NFC side of things and take a break, what's the gut tell you?

04:02Chiefs or Bills?

04:04I'm still going to Chiefs.

04:05I think like something like 27-24, I really think the Chiefs will find a way to win this

04:10football game, but it'll be a close one.
