- WATCH: Josh Allen unleashes ‘play of the year’ to seal Bills’ win vs. Chiefs, hand Kansas City first loss (cbssports.com)
The Kansas City Chiefs, who had an impressive 9-0 record, faced off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The Bills, currently the second seed in the AFC, managed to defeat the Chiefs 30-21, ending their perfect season and 15-game winning streak.
Buffalo’s quarterback, Josh Allen, played a crucial role in the victory. Facing a crucial fourth-and-2 situation with a two-point lead, Allen opted to run the ball himself, breaking through the Chiefs’ defense for a 26-yard touchdown. This improbable run, which had only a 1.2% chance of success according to Next Gen Stats, sealed the game for the Bills.
Allen’s performance, including 262 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and 55 rushing yards, was exceptional. He now holds the record for the most starts won against Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs, surpassing Tom Brady and Joe Burrow, who each have three wins.
The victory improves Buffalo’s record to 9-2, just a half-game behind Kansas City for the top spot in the AFC.
