Week 9 of the NFL brings one of the most exciting matchups of the season, set to take place at none other than Highmark Stadium. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will head to Orchard Park to face a Buffalo Bills team that’s sure to make things anything but easy for Andy Reid and company.
It’s well known that this venue can be an extremely hostile environment for any visiting team. Mahomes, who’s looking to lead his team to another win this season, knows the Chiefs won’t be given a warm welcome.
“They don’t like us,” the talented quarterback firmly stated about the Bills’ fan base during Wednesday’s media availability. “That’s pretty [clear]. They do not like the Chiefs.”
He also added: “But it is a cool environment, I love playing in historic stadiums, and that stadium has had so many great players play in it. Who knows, it might be the last time we get the opportunity to play there. It’ll be a great challenge for us, and they’re loud, and that’s what you want. You want to go in and be in a hostile environment.
Fans of the Buffalo Bills.
“That what football, when you watch on TV as a kid growing up, it’s the environment you want to play in, and so obviously they’re not rooting for us, but you get to bond together as a team.”
