ORCHARD PARK, NY. (WKBW) — With their 27-25 win over the Baltimore Ravens, "the city of losers" gets to watch their Buffalo Bills in Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

"It's the city of winners," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said after the game, referencing a comment by a Baltimore radio host who called Buffalo a city of losers. "These people in these towns are winners and I've been here just eight years but I consider this my hometown. This place is different and people here are different. They deserve more than whoever said that about them."

Whether or not they needed to, Buffalo played with a little extra motivation, and that statement from a Baltimore-area radio host was just the short list of things that added fuel to the Bills fire.

"All year, this team has heard we got no talent, we're too small. we can't stop the run; we're not good enough to compete," Bills quarterback Josh Allen said during his postgame TV interview with CBS. "We've just put our heads down and worked. I'm so proud of our defense, our offense, special teams. What a complete win."

The next step is a trip to Kansas City to play the Chiefs on January 26. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. in the AFC Championship game with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
