Josh Allen has once again led the Buffalo Bills to a regular season victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. This time, he handed Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes their first loss in the 2024 NFL season. The excitement was palpable as fans filled Highmark Stadium, eager to witness another chapter in this thrilling rivalry.
Allen shines for the Bills against the Chiefs, again
In a performance that showcased his dual-threat capabilities, Allen completed 27 of his 40 passes for 262 yards, including a touchdown and an interception. However, it was his impressive rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter that truly sealed the deal, allowing Buffalo to lead by two scores with less than two minutes remaining. This victory not only added another notch to Allen’s belt but also demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure against one of the league’s elite teams.
With this victory, Allen is now 4-1 against Mahomes and Reid’s team in regular season matchups. Things have been different in the postseason, though, with the Chiefs holding a 3-0 record against Allen. This contrast highlights the intensity and unpredictability of playoff football, where every play can change the course of a game.
The Bills quarterback, however, is keeping his feet on the ground. Allen made it clear to Reid and the Chiefs before the game that Buffalo saw this as just another Week 11 game, and he insisted about this after the win on Sunday. “It is, it’s another week 11 win,” Allen told CBS. He also warned his teammates about the possibility of seeing Kansas City again in the 2025 NFL playoffs, stating, “Knowing how things usually play out, we’ll probably see this team again at some point. We have to get there first.”

Buffalo will return to action on Sunday, December 1, to host the San Francisco 49ers at Highmark Stadium on “Sunday Night Football” in Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season. This matchup promises to be another thrilling encounter as the Bills look to extend their winning streak against a formidable opponent.
On the other hand, the Chiefs remain in control of the conference with a solid 9-1 record. Reid’s team is comfortably atop the AFC West, followed by the Los Angeles Chargers at 6-3. Kansas City’s next game is scheduled for Sunday, November 24, against the Carolina Panthers on the road. The Chiefs will welcome back a key weapon for that game, with running back Isiah Pacheco expected to return from injury, adding to their already potent offense.
This victory over the Chiefs not only boosts the Bills’ confidence but also sets the stage for what could be a thrilling postseason. The rivalry between these two teams has become one of the most exciting narratives in the NFL, and fans are left wondering what the future holds. Will they meet again in the playoffs?
