2024-01-20 [Playoffs – Chiefs Week]: Monitoring Injuries, Shoveling Snow and Waiting for the Chiefs

The calm before the storm! Monitoring injuries, seems like we have an idea now, Martin to play, Isabella elevated for Gabe Davis, Klein is elevated and probably active, so Bernard maybe out, or Dodson out, but most likely only one. Bernard may be playing. Also, Brian Moorman pays a visit to Highmark Stadium to assist in shoveling, we sign JK Hamler to a futures deal (whatever that is), some fashion news from Brooke Kromer (daughter of O-Line Coach Aaron Kromer), we find out Kadarius Toney is out for the Chiefs. Also, some details about the pit sacrifices and Goo Goo Dolls music reference, always great!

Does battered Bills defense provide a glimpse of the future?
Buffalo’s injuries have paved the way for new faces to graduate to long-term roles. Meanwhile, it might be the final run for longtime veterans of the unit.

Josh Allen hasn’t heeded warnings to keep himself safe when running. His reward could be the QB record for most postseason rushing yards.

So this means Martin will play.

Isabella elevated as Gabe Davis is out.

Klein elevated again, could mean Bernard out but Klein was also elevated last week for Dodson.

Klein would also potentially take place of Spector being out.

No CB elevation 👍#Bills https://t.co/lXwfCBohNC

Chiefs have some injury updates. WR Kadarius Toney is now officially out.

Gay would be a fairly significant loss if he can’t play. Generally plays 50-60% of their defensive snaps when everyone is healthy. https://t.co/1IYckZEwjj
