Sometime around 3:30 p.m., with almost a quarter still to play, Bills fans stopped thinking about the Colts and started wondering about next week’s blockbuster showdown with the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) in Highmark Stadium.
It’s the annual matchup we all circle the moment the NFL releases its schedule and three of the past four years has offered a juicy postseason preview. The Bills avoided the trap scenario against inferior opponents and enter Week 11 on a five-game win streak. The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, meanwhile, have looked vulnerable but keep winning, somehow surviving the Denver Broncos on Sunday with a blocked 35-yard field goal as time expired.
Allen looked shabby at times Sunday, as the MVP candidate threw a couple bad interceptions and misfired a few other times. Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo will be even trickier to beat, but Buffalo’s offense overall has been varied and effective.
Even with tight end Dalton Kincaid sidelined by a knee injury for much of the game, Buffalo mounted six drives of at least eight plays and two that lasted 13 plays in the fourth quarter to ice the victory. The Bills have 19 possessions of at least 10 plays this year and have scored on all of them.
