‘There’s no way around it, the Bills simply got run over by the Kansas City rushing attack. We’ve seen some leaks in the run defense this year, but this was total domination by the Chiefs offensive line and especially rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who ran for 161 yards on 26 carries, averaging a whopping 6.2 yards per run. The Chiefs as a team ran for 245 yards and averaged 5.3 yards per carry. Patrick Mahomes only had 225 yards passing, because he didn’t have to have more. The Chiefs just ran right at the Bills all night and their defense couldn’t stop them.’

Opinion: It’s time to vent about the Buffalo Bills
‘The Bills gave up 466 yards to the Chiefs Monday night and part of the reason was their defense simply couldn’t get off the field when it mattered the most. On 14 attempts, the Chiefs converted 9-third downs against the Bills defense and went 1 for 1 on fourth down. Whether it was Pat Mahomes breaking contain to extend plays or simply bad tackling, when the Bills needed someone to make a play defensively, none were made. Simple as that.’

Chiefs down Bills 26-17

4 Observations: Chiefs run over Bills 26-17
‘Running on empty. The game has been over for hours and the Chiefs just ran for another 8 yards. The Bills defense had no answer for the Kansas City running game. Clyde Edwards-Helaire finished with 161 yards on 26 carries (6.2 ypc) on the ground. The Bills dared the Chiefs to beat them on the ground and that’s exactly what they did, racking up 245 yards as a team. Kansas City seemed to have huge running lanes throughout the game, and when they didn’t, the defense didn’t make the tackle. The Bills have allowed 788 yards rushing this season, only four teams have allowed more.’

The Bills are frustrated, but still in first place
‘”We have to take a good look at our football team and be truthful with ourselves and say what do we have to get corrected. If we do that, we will move forward as a team and we’ll peak at the right time,” added McDermott. “But that remains to be seen.”‘
