The Kansas City Chiefs (12-6) will face the Buffalo Bills (12-6) during the AFC divisional round for a trip to the AFC Championship Game. 

These two teams squared off at Arrowhead Stadium during the regular season, but this time they're playing at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. It's a win-or-go-home game on Sunday night with both teams facing some injury-related absences. Those missing players could well impact the outcome of the game. 

Here's a quick breakdown of this week's inactive players.

Chiefs inactive players:

  • WR Kadarius Toney
  • CB Ekow Boye-Doe
  • LT Wanya Morris
  • DT Derrick Nnadi
  • DT Neil Farrell Jr.
  • DE BJ Thompson
  • DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah

Bills inactive players:

  • WR Gabe Davis
  • CB Christian Benford
  • S Taylor Rapp
  • LB Baylon Spector
  • LB Terrel Bernard
  • OL Alec Anderson
  • DT Poona Ford

Observations:

With Derrick Nnadi ruled out, the Chiefs have opted for Mike Pennel and Matt Dickerson. Both of those players were practice squad elevations this week, and they're active over DT Neil Farrell Jr., who is on the 53-man roster.

WIllie Gay Jr. and Charles Omenihu are a go for Kansas City after being given questionable game status designations on Saturday.

Chiefs WR Justyn Ross is back this week, which has led to an inactive designation for CB Ekow Boye-Doe.

Bills LB Terrel Bernard joins the rest of the injured cast of Buffalo players, but CBs Rasul Douglas and Taron Johnson return to the lineup.
