Standing in the way of a week of rest for the Kansas City Chiefs is an opponent they're very familiar with. The Buffalo Bills and Chiefs rivalry is one of the biggest in the NFL, and both of these teams want to win this game more so than others.

Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen's MVP cases this season have fluctuated all season long for both of them, but a statement win for either of them would significantly improve their stock. The Chiefs would rather kick their feet up and relax coming off a win; they can pull it off, but in the regular season, the Bills have historically had their number.

The beginning of this rivalry matchup started off with plenty of offense from both sides. The Bills got out to an early lead, but not for long. The Chiefs were able to tie the game and score a field goal to get the 10 - 7 lead.

The Chiefs' defense has been unable to hold back the reigning MVP from doing what he wants. They couldn't contain the Bills' passing attack, and it led to a big completion for Allen. They finished it off with a score on the ground, and the Bills were able to answer back with a score of their own.

Bills' tight ends continue to torch the second day of the Chiefs. Defensive adjustments may need to be made if the Chiefs want to beat the Bills. The Bills go up 11 after Allen scores a rushing touchdown. The Chiefs have had some miscues on offense; they need to shore up in the second half.

The Chiefs needed a shot in the arm on offense, and thanks to big plays to Travis Kelce and Hollywood Brown, the Chiefs found their way into the endzone before the half was over. Unfortunately for them, the Bills were able to hold firm, and it only resulted in a field goal. Disappointing for the Chiefs to end the first half.

During the second half of the game, the Bills continued to lay it on the Chiefs and were up big. Mahomes has struggled mightily this game, and the pass game hasn't been in sync. That was until he got them into scoring range and came up big in the biggest moment of the game.

The Chiefs had a promising drive where it looked like they were going to tie the game up, but instead, Mahomes threw his first interception of the game. Joey Bosa has been a difference maker all game. The Bills may put this game away if their defense doesn't shore up.

The Chiefs were given a chance due to the Bills missing a field goal. However, Mahomes couldn't capitalize and send the game into overtime. They're sent packing to their bye week with a loss and concerns for their offense moving forward.
