Bills vs. Chiefs was the biggest game so far in the 2022 NFL season for both teams. Don't believe that? Just ask Bills safety Jordan Poyer.
Poyer didn't appear on the team's final Week 6 injury report; he had recovered from an injury to his ribs, meaning he was cleared to play. But Poyer wasn't cleared to fly to Kansas City from Buffalo for the game, due to the difference in air pressure.

He would not be denied, however. The 11-year veteran used a car service for a 15-hour drive from Western New York to Missouri for the road game.
Poyer couldn't fly back to Buffalo, either, because he still isn't cleared for air travel. So he's spending a cool 30 hours in a car this weekend.
How tough is Jordan Poyer?

The #Bills safety was not medically cleared to fly because of rib injury, so he drove 15 hours to Kansas City and back to play in this game.
I'm told #bills safety Jordan Poyer used a car service that drove him from Buffalo to Kansas City. He's also still not cleared even though he played in the game, so he's using the car service to get back to Buffalo as well. https://t.co/JnLQ4l2VFg

According to The Buffalo News, Poyer's wife and daughter were with him for the trip.

The 2021 All-Pro notched four tackles in the Bills' 24-20 win, but he didn't add to his four interceptions.
