Kansas City Chiefs fall short of expectations, come back to beat Buffalo Bills in 190.82-187.10 battle

There's no sugarcoating it, Kansas City Chiefs underperformed, at least based on projections. Still, they came back to earn a 190.82-187.10 win over Buffalo Bills. Trailing 187.10-184.82 heading into Monday night, Kansas City Chiefs made a run behind Curtis Samuel (12 Rush Yds, 28 Rec Yds). Stefon Diggs (12 Rec, 128 Rec Yds) and Gabe Davis (6 Rec, 93 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) were the top scorers for Buffalo Bills in defeat. Kansas City Chiefs (7-3) will look to add to their success against Los Angeles Rams, while Buffalo Bills (7-3) will attempt to generate some positive momentum against Arizona Cardinals.

Coach Talk

Kansas City Chiefs
Spotting mismatches is a big component to winning in football. Thanks to a solid outing by Patrick Mahomes, we doubled up Buffalo Bills at the quarterback position this past week (42.02 points to 20.5). Mahomes went 26-for-35 for 331 yards, four TDs, and an INT in a 27-17 win over the Jaguars.
Buffalo Bills
Registering a pair of receptions on only three measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Buffalo Bills should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
