The Kansas City Chiefs came into Highmark Stadium riding a three-game win streak, and they experts proclaimed them to be back to their old selves.
Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes had all his offensive weapons now, so who was going to stop the reigning AFC champions on their way to another Super Bowl appearance?
It's still early, and there is a lot of football left to play, but the Buffalo Bills certainly made life tough on the Chiefs in Week 9. They were by no means hospitable and proceeded to bully Mahomes and the Chiefs throughout the game. The Bills' 28-21 win grabbed the attention of many across the league, including NFL analyst Kay Adams.

"The Bills did win this one because of a, Like what could win them a Super Bowl in this defense. They have my attention when it comes to that," said Adams.
Adams added, "They pressured Mahomes 28 times on 34 pass attempts, 16 of those 28 came from (Joey) Bosa, came from draft pick Greg Rousseau. Is Bosa showing us, yeah, I'm still the guy, I am the guy, I'm going to be the guy."
The Bills lost Michael Hoecht to a season-ending Achilles injury, but the Bills defense is playing far better on all fronts, including the secondary.
"The secondary, tremendous. They hold Patrick under 50% completions for the first time in his career and it's all looking up for them," said Adams.
We all know this story all too well. The Bills are 5-1 against the Chiefs in the regular season, but still need to get it done in January, when it counts. Adams had this to say regarding that, "I know they've beaten the Chiefs in the regular season plenty of times. They've never shown that they can do that though to Patrick Mahomes."
The Bills' defense seems to have turned a corner , but with the recent injuries to Ed Oliver and Michael Hoecht, someone will need to step up in their place. The Bills might get DaQuan Jones back soon, and rookie T.J. Sanders is eligible to come off IR following Week 11. Let's see if the Bills' defense can keep up this momentum, because this defense is how you get to and win a Super Bowl.
