Overview

  • The 28-21 defeat at Buffalo left Kansas City 5-4, third in the AFC West and eighth in the AFC, outside the current playoff cutoff.
  • Patrick Mahomes urged immediate consistency and faster learning, noting the offense scored on just one of five second-half drives in Week 9.
  • After going 12-0 in one-score games last season, the Chiefs are 0-4 in such contests this year.
  • Defensive end Chris Jones said the focus during the break is getting healthy and correcting errors, adding that drastic changes are not needed.
  • Kansas City returns Nov. 16 at division-leading Denver, then faces Indianapolis on Nov. 23, a short week at Dallas on Thanksgiving, and Houston on Dec. 7.
