Bills Down Chiefs 28–21 as Allen Near-Perfect, Mahomes Hits Career-Low

Mahomes’ career-worst accuracy sharpened concerns for 5-4 Kansas City entering the bye.

Overview

  • Josh Allen went 23-of-26 for 273 yards with a touchdown and two rushing scores, setting Buffalo’s franchise mark for best completion rate with 15-plus attempts.
  • Patrick Mahomes finished 15-of-34 (44.1%) for 250 yards with one interception and no touchdowns, marking his lowest regular-season completion rate as the Chiefs slipped outside the playoff picture.
  • Buffalo moved to 6-2, but defensive end Michael Hoecht suffered a torn right Achilles, a setback that complicates the Bills’ already thin defensive front ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.
  • End-zone camera operator Justin Schwab was struck by an errant Mahomes pass but was unhurt and later posted his own point-of-view video of the hit.
  • Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo jokingly told Allen, “I want you to retire,” as the Bills notched a fifth straight regular-season win over Kansas City despite their 0-4 postseason record against the Chiefs.
