Stop me if you've heard this before: "The Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the AFC Championship." If you're a football fan, chances are you have, considering this is the seventh straight year that K.C.

For the second time since the 2024-25 regular season began, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Buffalo Bills in a matchup between two of the NFL's most exciting teams. This time around, however, there's a trip to Super Bowl LIX hanging in the balance.

Most of the attention is going to be on both QBs and playcallers on both sides (whichever team can defend the pass out of their base personnel the best might win this game), but I’m going to focus on one player whose role has increased since the last time these two played: Chiefs’ rookie wideout Xavier Worthy.
