Pat Mahomes is set to defend his Super Bowl crown, but it won’t be in the familiar confines of Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.
The Chiefs will face the Bills at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, and Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins is emphasizing the unfamiliar and intense environment Mahomes is stepping into.
“(Mahomes has) only been here once. So, he’s never been here. Simple as that,” warned Bills tackle Dion Dawkins. “Pat has never been to the Bills stadium in full… The environment will be different, and not to say it’s in our favor, but the stadium is our favor. Stadium is us. I don’t care what nobody says. This is the most dopest feeling I’ve ever had.”

While the Chiefs have had the luxury of home-field advantage in numerous playoff games, this time Mahomes faces a challenging away game. Despite the warning, oddsmakers still see the Bills as 2.5-point favorites, suggesting a closely contested matchup.
Fans await the showdown on Sunday night at 6:30 PM on CBS to see if Dawkins’ words hold weight.
