Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins poked the bear.

Maybe he shouldn’t have.

After leading his Kansas City Chiefs to a 27-24 victory over the Bills in Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round game, Patrick Mahomes posted a picture of himself with the caption “good luck” on his Instagram page.

It was a clear reference to Dawkins’ comments that came before the game.

Sunday was the first time Mahomes played in Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium with fans in the stands, as his only other visit came during the 2020 season when stadiums were empty because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“[Mahomes has] only been here once. So he’s never been here. Simple as that,” Dawkins said ahead of the game, per ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg.

“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 stadium is our favor. Stadium is us. That helps us. I don’t care what nobody says. This is the most dopest feeling I’ve ever had. We’re having two back-to-back playoff games home. Come on now, like we get to leave and go eat wings. It’s cool. So good luck.”

Mahomes finished 17-of-23 for 215 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions with both scores going to Travis Kelce, so the crowd didn’t seem to be a problem.

He also eliminated the Bills from the playoffs for the third time in the last four years, so they might not want to wish him luck next time.
