KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Scoring 26 points and winning by nine may not sound like dominance, but our “4th & 1” podcast crew explains why the Chiefs’ win Monday afternoon at the Buffalo Billswas so impressive.
Despite an offensive line that featured three replacements from last week for most of the game, Kansas City gashed Buffalo’s defense for 245 yards on 46 carries — both high-water marks for coach Andy Reid’s tenure with the Chiefs.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished 21 of 26 for 225 yards with two touchdowns, both to tight end Travis Kelce, and no interceptions on a rainy afternoon.
Meanwhile, Kansas City’s defense allowed only 204 yards from scrimmage.
The Bills entered the game averaging more than 402 yards of offense per game, but plummeted from the top five in the NFL to 15th after encountering the Chiefs’ defense.
