‘On defense, Leslie Frazier put together another great plan and he had Mahomes confused and frustrated much of the night. Nothing came easy for Mahomes, and in many ways that’s the best you can do against him. The defense forced three turnovers (two picks and a fumble recovery late by Tre’Davious White).’

Bills getting lots of league-wide love, but Chiefs are still kings of the AFC, for now
‘I just think this is going to be a tough one on the road in perhaps the most hostile environment in the league going against an electrifying offense that seems impossible to stop. Until the Bills prove they can beat the Chiefs, I have to pick against them in this spot.’
Bills need to make a statement and prove they’re a legit threat to the Chiefs’ superiority
‘“We hated the way that it ended last year,” Diggs said the other day. “Anybody with any competitive nature would hate the way that it ended. So as far as being in the moment … things don’t go your way, you kind of still have to deal with them. I didn’t want to run from defeat; you embrace the moment, take it for what it is, and move forward. I took it as a moment as you came up short, get back in the lab and you’ve gotta get back to the grind.”’

After facing 3 backup QBs, Buffalo Bills dominant defense faces NFL’s best in Kansas City

Buffalo Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs: Here’s what Sean McDermott is saying
‘“You want to see this game turn fast? Put the ball on the ground and you’ll see how fast it can turn, right, because of their offense,” McDermott said of the Chiefs, who really don’t need help in the form of short fields. “But it’s emphasized every week because just look at the stats in terms of what decides wins and losses, that stat is pretty consistent year to year, week to week of driving wins and losses.”’
Tremaine Edmunds finally coming up big as Bills ready for showdown with Chiefs
‘“Just being able to make that play was huge for the defense as a whole,” Edmunds said. “It was a good time for it. I wouldn’t be able to make that play if the other guys weren’t doing their jobs. Everyone was executing at a high level to allow me to make that play.”’
Dawson Knox is becoming the tight end Buffalo Bills need; Milano’s injury is troublesome
‘I’ve been saying for months, whenever I’ve been asked about Knox, that he is the right man for the job in this offense because I felt there was still some untapped potential in that athletic 6-foot-4, 254-pound body. Four games into the season, Knox has proven me correct.’
Instant reactions: Bills offense had early red zone issues, but dominant defense ruled the day
‘Had the Bills been playing most other teams in the league, this wouldn’t have been nearly as one-sided as it wound up being in what was largely a classic play down to the level of the competition kind of day.’
Maiorana: Bills are annihilating lesser opponents but must beat Chiefs to be AFC favorite
‘Yes, it’s the biggest game because it’s the next one. But it’s also the biggest game because it’s the biggest game. This Chiefs team had its way with the Bills twice in 2020, one here and one there, and the one there was painful, a 38-24 wipeout in the AFC Championship Game.’
Bills report card: Buffalo continues to pummel opposing QBs, Patrick Mahomes is next test
‘After a week when he was almost flawless, Josh Allen looked a little more like the Week 1 and Week 2 version of himself. In the end the numbers looked fine – 20 of 29 for 248 yards, two TDs and a pick – but there were some struggles, especially in the red zone when the Bills failed to score a TD on their first four trips.’

Josh Allen used the Bills’ playoff loss to Texans as motivation to change his career path
‘“Sure, you could say that,” Allen said of the Houston loss being his turning point. “That one … it really drove me. Just the attention to detail that I started putting into offseason work, mechanics, and, like coach (Sean McDermott) says, being a student of the game and just loving and embracing the process that this game is all about.”‘
Seeing Josh Allen as a rookie, Texans coach David Culley says ‘you knew it was all there’
‘“I know people talked about his inaccuracy and those kinds of things, and basically that was just fundamental stuff,” said Culley, now the Houston Texans head coach who was an original member of Sean McDermott’s staff. “You just wanted to get him fundamentally right, because you knew it was all there.”’
Bills aren’t sure what to expect from Texans rookie QB Davis Mills
‘“I think he can make every throw,” McDermott said of Mills. “And he’s mobile enough to get out of the pocket and extend plays. He’s extremely smart – not just by the school that he went to – but also because of what he does on the field.”’
