Overview

• Kansas City has ended four of Buffalo’s past five postseasons, contributing to a 7-7 playoff mark under McDermott.
• Buffalo reinforced its front with Joey Bosa, yet Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi will miss the first six games for PED suspensions.
• Secondary health remains unsettled with Tre’Davious White’s status uncertain and rookie Maxwell Hairston still sidelined by a knee injury.
• The offense returns largely intact, adds downfield option Joshua Palmer, and secured RB James Cook on a four-year extension.
• Allen says he is sliding more, avoiding extra hits, and tightening sleep and diet, as an ESPN report suggests the team could pursue a defensive trade before Week 1.
