Bills Beat Chiefs 28–21, Dropping Kansas City to 5–4 as Mahomes' Streak Ends

The Chiefs reach their bye outside the playoff field, confronting pass‑protection problems plus an ankle evaluation for RT Jawaan Taylor before a divisional trip to Denver.

Overview

  • The defeat leaves Kansas City 5-4, third in the AFC West, and outside the AFC’s seven-team playoff field, with an 0-4 mark in one-score games after going 12-0 in such contests last season.
  • Patrick Mahomes finished 15-of-34 for 250 yards with an interception, marking his first career game under 50% completions as Buffalo pressured him on 52.6% of dropbacks and sacked him three times.
  • Buffalo complemented its pressure with the ground game as James Cook rushed for 114 yards, the most a running back has gained against the Chiefs this season.
  • Mahomes urged urgency and consistency entering the bye, saying there are "no more chances" to take losses and calling the post-bye stretch an "uphill battle."
  • Right tackle Jawaan Taylor sustained a right ankle injury that will be evaluated during the break, with Kansas City next visiting the AFC West-leading Broncos.
