‘One of the anchors of the defense and a team captain, Bernard helped seal Buffalo’s 30-21 win over the Chiefs on Sunday with an interception of quarterback Patrick Mahomes on a 4th-and-13.’

‘Allen had some tough sledding, but finished 27-of-40 passing for 262 yards, one touchdown, one interception. Allen also added 55 yards on the ground and the game-sealing rushing touchdown.’

‘”These young guys, seeing the atmosphere, having to go out there and play, the experience that a lot of these guys are getting through, through the fact that they’re young, but also through some of the course of the injuries that we’ve dealt with is good in terms of building up wisdom, building up.” McDermott told the media.’

‘Allen knew how much this game meant to everyone in his locker room. The rivalry between the Bills and Chiefs is still at its peak and he knew he had to be the leader to guide the team to victory.’

‘The Bills ran the ball 31 times for 104 yards, but they only averaged 3.4 yards per carry. Buffalo’s running backs carried 19 times for 49 yards, an average of just 2.58 yards per run.’

‘That was a terrific win for the Buffalo Bills. Yes, they will ultimately be judged by what happens in the playoffs. Yes, they have beaten Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City in the regular season before and are 0-3 against them in the playoffs. But that should not take anything away from the significance of Sunday’s dramatic victory.’

‘”This is so exciting. We have been waiting for this moment,” said Bills fan Jessica Czarcinski from Blasdell after the win. “The town has been on fire. We’ve been watching the Kansas City Chiefs fans come in, and they’ve been so nice, and we welcome them. But we are so happy to win.”‘

‘The Chiefs are only 19th in NFL in yards per play (5.17), but they stay on the field. They are tops in the league in third down conversion rate (52%), plays per drive (7.0), and time of possession per drive (3:23).’

‘The unique circumstances that have led us to the Bills winning three consecutive regular season meetings against the Chiefs, but failing in three consecutive playoff meetings, inevitably means there is nothing left for the Bills to prove against the Chiefs in the regular season.’

‘”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.”‘

‘The second impressive streak heading into Sunday’s matchup is the Kansas City defense, led by longtime defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, has held 30-straight opponents (including the Bills twice) to under 28 points. That is the longest such streak in the league in 23 years.’

‘Milano, who tore his left biceps and was placed on Injured Reserve prior to the start of the season, had his 21-day practice window opened by the club on Tuesday. He will need to be placed on the active 53-man roster by December 4 or remain on Injured Reserve for the remainder of the season.’

‘”We’ve asked them about the ’28 or ’29 NFL Draft. We know it’s on their radar, and we know we’re a potential destination for that event, so we’re going to continue that process,” Guelli noted.’

‘Kincaid injured his knee in the team’s 30-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. He left the game, then returned briefly, but left again and never came back in. Brown also injured his ankle during Buffalo’s win, but eventually came back in and finished the contest.’

‘Johnson played a huge role in the Bills’ 30-20 win over the Colts. He kick-started Buffalo’s scoring with an interception of quarterback Joe Flacco that was returned for touchdown on the very first snap on defense.’
