The Buffalo Bills have won the AFC East for five straight years and have gotten to the conference championship game twice during that same time. Despite the regular season success, they have yet to find a way to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs when it matters most.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch joined former teammate Chris Simms on his latest episode of his ‘Simms Unbuttoned’ podcast on Monday to discuss Beane’s tirade, and why he was in the right to do so.

“I thought Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott did a great job of doing that and it was seamless,” Lynch said. “It helps when you have Josh Allen playing the way he played. But they still did that.”

Buffalo is in good hands with Beane, McDermott, and Allen leading the way. They just need to find a way to get over the hump once and for all in the AFC Playoffs.
