‘Muddying things further is the fact that, on the surface, their production has basically been a wash: Allen has the superior numbers, with eight more touchdowns and a superior passer rating, whereas Mahomes is the shepherd of the NFL’s only perfect record. So what can these numbers — and other advanced statistics — tell us in addition to the eye test? What lies beneath the surface? Let’s proceed.’

Bills star claims Bills are ‘America’s team’
‘”The Buffalo Bills are America’s team,” Dawkins said. “I don’t wanna take away from no one else but I think that they called the Cowboys America’s team… because the Cowboys were good in that time of life. Now the chapter is changed and we have Josh Allen [and] we’re America’s team in my eyes. And we play another team that is also America’s team. It’s just two really good teams colliding.”‘

Why Bills could finally beat Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs in AFC playoffs
‘Buffalo has been more predictable with its offense in the past with Stefon Diggs dominating targets and Gabe Davis being the primary deep threat. But the aforementioned trio of Khalil Shakir, Ray Davis, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, and Dawson Knox, the Bills can spread the ball around to find more favorable matchups and not tip off any tendencies. The effectiveness of the group in helping Allen become more efficient is a credit to offensive coordinator Joe Brady’s play-calling.’
McDermott: Bills need to respect Chiefs’ success ahead of Week 11 matchup
‘”Yeah, I think it’s been, what, seven or so games since that 2017 meeting. So it’s a lot in a small window of time. A lot of respect for them, and certainly they’ve won quite a few championships. We’re looking forward to the opportunity this weekend should be a good, good game and a good matchup.”‘
Opinion: Just beat the Chiefs

Carucci Take 2: A Bills win would mean more in latest regular season clash vs. the Chiefs
‘I’m not dismissing this regular-season encounter, though. A Buffalo win would have significant ramifications beyond the obvious potential of a higher playoff seeding that could result in a postseason rematch in Orchard Park. First, it would give the Bills the pride that goes with being the club that gave the Chiefs their first loss of the season. Second, it would mark the best of the Bills’ eight triumphs. Third, it would give the Bills substantial momentum to carry into an upcoming three-game stretch that includes a couple of NFC heavyweights: San Francisco and Detroit.’
