Buffalo Bills End Kansas City Chiefs’ Undefeated Streak

The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer unbeaten; however, they failed to appear an awful lot troubled with the aid of that, least of all quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“The undefeated component become cool,” Mahomes stated after the Chiefs took their first loss of the season 30-21 in opposition to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. “But it truly is no longer our closing intention.”

The Chiefs won their first nine games but have been hardly dominant along the way. Seven of these victories have been by means of one score, and 4 had been now not settled until the game’s very last play.

The loss to the Bills became exclusive and not just within the result. The Bills truly outplayed the Chiefs, outgaining them via extra than 100 yards. The Chiefs led most effectively twice in the game, each instance within the first half. But every lead turned into short, and with the aid of simply one factor.Mahomes is known as the loss “gas” for the relaxation of the Chiefs’ season.

“It’s a terrific football group, so there is nothing to hang your head [about],” Mahomes stated. “We feel like we will play higher, so we are able to get back to painting and attempt to use this as a spark in order that we may be a higher soccer group in the end.

“I’m hoping that dropping is a benefit. I’m not going to say I or we comfortable, but at the same time I feel like we had been simply coming away with these wins at the end of the sport. I suppose it will spark us to have greater urgency, especially at the beginning of football games, especially with the offense, and that comes from me and turning the ball over on the primary power. It’s some thing you can’t do in massive games like this.”

The Chiefs had won 15 directly videogame relationships lower back to the final season, such as the playoffs. Their final loss came on Christmas of the closing season after they had been crushed by the Las Vegas Raiders. Mahomes said he noticed no similarities to Sunday’s loss but hoped this defeat might also convey a new lengthy winning streak.

[The Bills are] a definitely top football crew,” he stated. “It’s going to take your first-class soccer to beat exceptional soccer teams, and we failed to play our satisfactory soccer today, and they went accessible and beat us. That’s how it rolls within the NFL, and so all due recognize to them, that’s going to be a very good football team that we will possibly see [in the playoffs].”

Mahomes come to be outplayed by using the way of Josh Allen, his Buffalo counterpart.Cornerback Trent McDuffie stated there had been instances where the Chiefs defended Allen as they were supposed and still could not save him from making plays.

“He’s one of those human beings where, regardless of what occurs, he can make his team right,” McDuffie said.

Most first-rate among those plays became Allen’s 26-yard landing run overdue in the game that secured the win. A fourth-down stop on that play might have left the Chiefs with minutes to attempt for a triumphing field intention.

“That changed into a superb soccer play,” Mahomes stated. “Whenever the play’s no longer there, he does a top-notch process of making plays take place, and that’s what he did on that final play.”
