‘Outside linebacker Matt Milano was among the Bills’ inactives. Milano, originally listed as week-to-week with a pec injury, practiced throughout the week which gave Bills fans hope that the linebacker would be active tonight. Unfortunately that will not be the case. Without Milano, Buffalo could have their hands full with Travis Kelce.’

Five takeaways: Bills get run over in loss to Chiefs; Allen, Bills offense has rough night; Defensive struggles continue
‘The Bills’ defense was once a major strength, but thus far is proving to be at the bottom half of the league rather than the top half of the league.’
Meiler: Bills dealing with a serious lack of swagger
‘Where they’re lacking is up front, on both sides of the ball. They’ve been pushed around two weeks in a row. They haven’t shown the ability to both stop the run and rush the passer in a single game, save for the second half against the Raiders. Their top running back, Devin Singletary, is averaging 2.9 yards per carry over the last three games.’

The Bills Won the Stefon Diggs Trade. Right?
‘Maybe in this rare instance, a tie is OK.’
Buffalo Bills apply to trademark much-beloved ‘Bills Mafia’ fan moniker
‘”Honestly, the fans built this entire movement,” Reid said in the video. “We built this movement. The team is now embracing it. It’s surreal. It’s like a dream come true. We’ve always said: ‘Mafia means family’ so it’s investing in each other and building each other up and supporting the team and all of that because in Western New York, the Buffalo Bills are the extra family member in every household.”‘
Chiefs, Edwards-Helaire Run Away With 26-17 Win Over Bills
‘In what was supposed to be a showdown of the NFL’s top passers, the Chiefs leaned on their running game to help keep the Allen-led Bills cooling their heels on the sideline.’
Bills fall flat again against AFC’s elite, still lead East
‘The Chiefs converted 9 of 14 opportunities, including a third-and-11 in which Mahomes avoided pressure and completed a 37-yard pass to Byron Pringle. That play extended a drive that led to Harrison Butker’s 30-yard field goal with 1:56 left.’
Bills Welcome Back White, Brown For Game Against Chiefs
‘White is active after a back injury kept him out of a 42-16 loss at Tennessee on Tuesday. Starting receiver John Brown is also active after missing the Tennessee game because of a knee injury.’
Josh Allen shoulders blame for Buffalo Bills’ recent struggles, says team ‘can’t afford to have me play poorly’
‘Buffalo has publicly stated its goal of winning the AFC East for the first time since 1995, and in order for the Bills to do so, Allen must return to a level of play comparable to what he showed during the first four weeks of the season.’
Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes vs. Bills’ Josh Allen: Who has the strongest arm?
‘We may never see either quarterback fully uncork a pass in a real game — both estimate they can throw it at least 80 yards. And with Mahomes ranking No. 2 in the NFL and Allen No. 6 in pass attempts of 20 or more yards since 2018, don’t be surprised to see Monday’s game turn into a showcase of their cannon arms.’
Chiefs vs. Bills score: Kansas City pounds Buffalo with ground game, improves to 5-1
‘Despite plenty of evidence that a steady ground game would ultimately help them break through against K.C.’s defense, Buffalo failed to establish any consistent rushing attack, with only Josh Allen breaking off some decent carries. Speaking of Allen, his arm talent was on full display, and he kept the Bills within reach for pretty much the whole night. But accuracy was a problem for a second straight game — and a stark contrast to Mahomes’ smooth night. Where in the world was John Brown? (Or is he just still not ready to contribute?) Defensively, it’s hard to put too much blame on Sean McDermott for expecting a unit featuring guys like Josh Norman to shut down K.C., but boy, was that front gashed all night long in the run game — an area in which Buffalo was actually solid coming into the matchup.’
Chiefs vs. Bills score, results: Clyde Edwards-Helaire runs over Buffalo defense in Kansas City win
‘Kansas City ran the ball 46 times for 245 yards, the most rushing attempts by the Chiefs in Andy Reid’s eight seasons as Kansas City head coach. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was the main man, racking up 26 carries for 161 yards (6.2 yards per carry). Backup running back Darrel Williams added six carries for 26 yards and a touchdown. His 13-yard score on fourth down late in the third quarter gave Kansas City a 20-10 lead.’
How did Josh Allen go from bad to good? Bills provide master class in how to draft, support a franchise QB
‘Football games being won in the trenches is more than just a cliché, and the Bills front office has understood that. While there’s still work to be done among the front, Allen seems much more poised behind the offensive line this year than in years past, not looking to escape and hanging in there to make tough throws on contact. That makes a pretty compelling formula and a scary sight for Bills opponents the rest of the season.’
Bills fall to Chiefs at home for second consecutive loss
‘Playing host to the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, Buffalo showed a better effort than in last week’s drubbing in Tennessee. However, the Bills still look like they’re a tier below the top teams in the AFC.’
