The Bills defense started the game in style, forcing a turnover of the initial drive of the game. AJ Epenesa made a spectacular play by tipping a Patrick Mahomes pass and catching the interception.
The defense hung tight in the first half, allowing a late touchdown rush to McKinnon.
Buffalo’s defense kept the Chiefs from explosive plays. Kansas City clawed their way back into the game, tying the game 17-17 midway through the fourth quarter.
The Chiefs were down three when they received the ball with just under two minutes remaining in the game. The Bills allowed Kansas City to move the ball efficiently to midfield. It felt like a repeat of several games this season, when the defense could not hold onto the lead late in a game.
Buffalo received some good fortune, as the Chiefs scored a stellar touchdown. Mahomes found Travis Kelce deep down the middle of the field. Kelce, as part of a seemingly impromptu play, lateralled the ball to a wide-open Kadarius Toney, who would go into the end zone untouched. Toney was ruled to have lined up offsides, erasing the points from the board.
Buffalo’s defense took advantage of a rattled Mahomes. On the fourth down play, Leonard Floyd got around the edge and forced Mahomes to throw too early. The pass fell incomplete, giving Buffalo the win.
