How will the Buffalo Bills play on the road?

For the first two games of the playoffs, the Buffalo Bills were able to play at home and more importantly play in front of Bills Mafia. These were the first two games the Bills were able to have fans and while it was only 6,700 fans at each, there was no question they made an impact.

In the Divisional Round, the Baltimore Ravens were called for back to back false start penalties in the first half. The noise the fans generated during that stretch undoubtedly had an impact.

Now, Josh Allen and the Bills offense are going to have to deal with the fan noise as the Kansas City Chiefs also were able to have fans at their games. While the Bills have played in front of fans on the road at times this season and did finish the year 6-2 on the road, the stage is much bigger.

Arrowhead is known for being a tough place for visiting teams to play and win so this will be a big test for this offense.
