The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have featured in some epic showdowns over the last few years.

It appears Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen will be having many shootouts in the years to come as two of the top quarterbacks in the league.

#2 - Week 4 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The last time the Chiefs faced off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was in a defeat during Super Bowl LV. Mahomes will get his first opportunity at some revenge over Tom Brady on Sunday Night Football in Week 4.

#1 - Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

The Chiefs were seeking a third-straight AFC Conference Championship game victory before they were defeated at Arrowhead Stadium by the Cincinnati Bengals. Mahomes will look for some payback against Joe Burrow, who beat him twice last year.

#3 - Week 17 vs. Los Angeles Rams

It will be a battle for the city of Los Angeles when the Chargers host the Rams for Sunday Night Football in Week 17 of 2022 NFL season. The winners will have bragging rights in their home city in a battle between two teams, who are both expected to be Super Bowl contenders this year.

#2 - Week 14 vs. Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins passed on Justin Herbert in favor of Tua Tagovailoa in the 2020 NFL Draft. Herbert will now get his first opportunity to show the Dolphins why he believes he would have been the much better pick on draft day.

Russell Wilson requested a trade during the 2022 NFL offseason and had a big say in which team he would be traded to. He ultimately landed with the Broncos, choosing to be in the same division as Patrick Mahomes. The two will face off as new division rivals in Week 14 on Sunday Night Football.

#1 - Week 1 vs. Seattle Seahawks
