The Buffalo Bills have responded to rumors that they purposely shut off the hot water in the visitors locker room, following a heartbreaking 27-24 loss to the rival Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round.
After Sunday’s thrilling win, Kansas City offensive tackle Donovan Smith took to X/Twitter and accused the Bills of shutting off the hot water in the visiting team’s locker room:
But in a statement to TMZ Sports, Eerie County Press Secretary Peter Anderson stated that this did not happen. Anderson told the outlet that it’s simply not possible to turn off the hot water for only one side.
“This is false. There is no way to turn hot water off on one side or the other. There are two huge hot water tanks which feed both home and away locker rooms.”
Anderson added that the water in the Chiefs’ locker room likely went cold because of hot water “demand” in the area, and that there were recent renovations/upgrades for things related “to hot water in the locker rooms.”
Smith’s post on social media had plenty of fans accusing the Bills of being poor sports and petty in defeat. But according to Anderson, the Bills simply didn’t perform this act intentionally whatsoever.
The Chiefs’ three-point victory marked the third time in four years where they eliminated the Bills in the postseason. Three years after falling to Kansas City in the 2020 AFC Championship Game, Buffalo has now suffered three straight defeats in the Divisional Round.
Kansas City will now travel to Baltimore to take on Lamar Jackson and the top-seeded Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium this Sunday
