The Kansas City Chiefs could be without one of their playmaking linebackers after he was arrested this week.

According to NFL.com, Kansas City Chief linebacker Willie Gay Jr. was arrested on Wednesday night around 10:30 pm and was charged with misdemeanor criminal damage.

He was charged with The class B non-person misdemeanor "constitutes a domestic violence offense,"

In the opening round of the playoff last week against Pittsburg, Gay made two tackles and forced one fumble.

Officials with the Chiefs said they were aware of the incident and did not provide any details on the status of Gay for the game on Sunday.

The Bills take on the Chiefs for the 2nd time this year. In their last meeting, Gay had two tackles in the Kansas City loss.

This Sunday, the Bills are looking to avenge their loss in the AFC championship game last season. The last time the Bills beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs was back in 1993 in the AFC Championship game.

The Bills are hoping for some more playoff magic and a win over the Chiefs on Sunday night. The kick-off is set for 6:30 pm. You can watch all the action on WIVB Channel Four.
