Chiefs vs. Bills NFL scores, live updates: Kansas City heads to Buffalo as top 2 AFC teams square off

On By Littum

Roger Staubach vs. Terry Bradshaw. Steve Young vs. Troy Aikman. Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning.

These quarterback matchups defined decades in the NFL, and for the eighth time in the past five seasons, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen will face the entire NFL world. The stakes couldn’t be higher, either — at least for a regular season game.

The Chiefs enter the game as the league’s only remaining undefeated team at 9-0, having found nearly every possible way to win a game this season, while the 8-2 Bills hold a commanding lead in the AFC East and have snapped five straight wins and scored 30 plus points in the last four games.

Kansas City holds a 4-3 lead over Buffalo in the seven Mahomes-Allen games. The Bills have actually beaten the Chiefs each of the past three years in the regular season, but in January 2021, 2022 and 2024, Kansas City knocked Buffalo out of the playoffs, including in Orchard Park en route to a second straight Super Bowl. title last season.

The Chiefs-Bills matchup gets its own marquee spot this Sunday — a national kickoff time of 10 p.m. 4:25 PM ET on CBS. Fox will show either Falcons-Broncos or Seahawks-49ers, both of which are set for 4:05 PM ET kickoffs to round out the afternoon.

  • Kansas City capitalizes on the turnover with a Noah Gray touchdown

    It came down to a third down, but the Chiefs problem resolves around the Bills defense. Travis Kelce doesn’t have a catch and Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster and DeAndre Hopkins have a combined score, but the Chiefs are ahead, 14-13 late in the second quarter at Buffalo.

  • Chamarri Conner picks up Josh Allen on 4th down

    Not only is it the 4th down stop, but Buffalo was in field goal range and chose to go for it, and after the return, the Chiefs are set up in plus territory with a chance to put some more points on the board.
