The Buffalo Bills asserted their dominance with a 30-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, becoming the first team this season to topple the reigning Super Bowl champions. Quarterback Josh Allen delivered an impressive performance, completing 27 of 40 passes for 262 yards, including a touchdown to Curtis Samuel, and sealing the game with a 26-yard rushing touchdown.
Buffalo’s defense rose to the occasion, holding Patrick Mahomes to 196 passing yards and securing two crucial interceptions, including a decisive pick by Taron Johnson with just over a minute left. While the defense allowed three touchdown passes, they maintained control in critical moments.
A lesser-discussed stat highlights the Bills’ current six-game winning streak, during which they’ve outscored opponents 178-108. This run has included scoring 30 or more points in five games while limiting opponents to no more than 27. The streak began following consecutive losses to Baltimore and Houston in Weeks 4 and 5.
Now at 9-2, the Bills lead the AFC East, holding a commanding lead over the 4-6 Dolphins, with the Jets and Patriots both at 3-8. With both offense and defense firing on all cylinders, Buffalo is solidifying its status as a top contender.
After a much-needed bye week, the Bills will prepare for a critical Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. This break will allow key players like receiver Keon Coleman to recover from minor injuries, ensuring the team is ready for the challenges ahead. The showdown with one of the NFC’s strongest teams offers Buffalo a chance to further cement its position as a dominant force heading into the postseason.
