Bills Beat Chiefs 28-21 Behind Near-Perfect Josh Allen, Hoecht Exits With Achilles Injury

Buffalo’s win was marred by coach Sean McDermott confirming pass rusher Michael Hoecht suffered an Achilles injury.

Overview

  • Josh Allen completed 23 of 26 passes for 273 yards with one touchdown and ran for two scores, while James Cook rushed for 114 yards.
  • Buffalo’s front consistently moved Patrick Mahomes off his spot, logging 12 QB hits and three sacks and sealing the game with rookie Max Hairston’s late interception.
  • McDermott said postgame that Michael Hoecht sustained an Achilles injury, raising immediate questions for the Bills’ defensive depth and potential roster moves.
  • The result moved Buffalo to 6-2 and dropped Kansas City to 5-4, marking five straight regular-season wins for the Bills over the Chiefs.
  • After pregame concern about Steve Spagnuolo’s pressure packages, Allen was poised in the pocket and finished without an interception for the second consecutive week.
