Bills hand Chiefs first loss of season with Allen’s late-game heroics
‘Leading by two with just over two minutes to go, the Bills were tasked with a 4th & 2 from inside field goal range. Instead of going up by five points, Sean McDermott put the ball in Josh Allen’s hands. Allen produced his signature play of the season, roaming out to his right before cutting up field for the first down. Allen was not done there, swerving in and out of traffic and breaking a pair of tackles to score and give Buffalo a two-possession lead.’
Bills players react to Josh Allen’s game-clinching run
‘“We mapped it out during the week and felt strongly that that was the right decision,” McDermott said. “I don’t want to be resulting, if you will, but would have stood by it, if it didn’t work out, just felt like there’s been too many games where Andy [Reid] and Patrick [Mahomes] come back.”’
Von Miller reflects on difference made in win against Chiefs
‘“I’m proud of myself, proud of my team,” Miller said after the game. “Keeping a positive mindset and still come out here and work, man, 35 years old, 14 years in the game. And I still love it. It never gets old for sure.”’

'This is not the finish line' | Bills players and coaches react to beating the Chiefs
‘”Something we’ve emphasized all season is starting fast, and that’s something that I think we did tonight,” DE A.J. Epenesa said. “We were trying to send a message early, and that’s something we’ve tried to do most games… finishing games is what’s the most important. Starting fast just sets the tone. But we finished all of our games we played this season, played full four quarters, and that’s probably the most important thing other than starting fast.”‘

Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen rivalry following other great NFL quarterback battles: 'The best of the best'
‘Allen-Mahomes, since they first faced off in October 2020, has been a wonderful thing. For pro football. For the cities. For the franchises. And for the quarterbacks. Seven games in, it’s a rivalry that has helped propel both players to stardom – and in Mahomes’ case, three Super Bowl titles.’
Four keys for Buffalo Bills to beat Kansas City Chiefs
‘Mahomes is able to make plays happen out of nothing. Luckily, the Bills’ defense practices against that tendency daily with their own quarterback, Josh Allen. Even when a play seems over, the Bills’ defense has to be ready for anything.’
Bills-Chiefs numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo's game vs. Kansas City
12 – Living dangerously is no problem for the Chiefs. Kansas City has 12 straight wins in one-possession games, and the Chiefs have won nine straight when they face a second-half deficit. The Bills are 3-1 in one-score games this year and were 6-7 last season.’
Bills-Chiefs: Who you got? Buffalo News writers make their predictions on Sunday's game
‘The bye week can’t come soon enough for the Bills, who really need to get healthy. They’ve held things together quite well in the face of so many injuries to their wide receivers, and now tight end Dalton Kincaid, but it is going to catch up to them at some point. The Chiefs have a top-five defense in both yards and points allowed. They are great at defending the run. Without Kincaid and Keon Coleman, and Amari Cooper at less than 100% if he plays, that is asking too much of the Bills’ offense in this game. The Bills’ plus-13 turnover differential leads the league. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw nine interceptions in his team’s first seven games, but hasn’t thrown a pick in each of the past two weeks. If Mahomes plays a clean game, it’s hard to envision the Bills outscoring him. Chiefs, 24-20.’
