Bills 30, Chiefs 21

In a pivotal AFC showdown, Josh Allen sealed the Buffalo Bills’ 30-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a stunning 26-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-2 late in the game. The decision by coach Sean McDermott to go for it proved critical, as Allen diced through one of the league’s top defenses.

Allen threw for 262 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown to Curtis Samuel, and led Buffalo (9-2) in rushing with 55 yards. The Chiefs (9-1), handed their first loss, saw Patrick Mahomes throw for 196 yards and three touchdowns but was limited by Buffalo’s defense, which forced two interceptions.
