Now, let’s talk about the game itself — and the storylines couldn’t be juicier. Since 2018, when Mahomes took over as Kansas City’s starter and Allen was drafted by Buffalo, no two AFC teams have been more dominant. The Chiefs have piled up 95 wins, the most in the NFL, while the Bills follow closely with 82. Their head-to-head rivalry is as balanced as it gets — Mahomes and Allen have each thrown 19 touchdown passes in their nine meetings, and the total points scored by both teams are nearly identical.
But here’s the twist: while Allen holds the edge in regular-season matchups (4-1), Mahomes has been perfect when it matters most, going 4-0 against Buffalo in the playoffs. Fans still remember last year’s AFC Championship thriller, when Kansas City edged out Buffalo 32–29 thanks to a clutch field goal with just over three minutes left. Allen’s late-game incompletion ended the Bills’ Super Bowl dreams — and that sting still lingers in Buffalo.
This time, both teams arrive with something to prove. The Chiefs, now 5–3, seem to have rediscovered their rhythm behind Mahomes’ incredible off-script playmaking. He currently leads the league in first downs created outside the pocket — both passing and rushing — a clear sign that his trademark improvisation is back in full force.
Meanwhile, the Bills, sitting at 5–2, have been powered by running back James Cook, who exploded for 216 rushing yards last week without even playing in the fourth quarter. Josh Allen has also been on fire statistically, averaging over 250 passing and 50 rushing yards per game against the Chiefs — something no other quarterback in NFL history has done against a single opponent.
In short, this game isn’t just another regular-season matchup — it’s a battle for AFC bragging rights, a quarterback rivalry for the ages, and possibly a preview of another postseason collision. Whether you tune in on TV, radio, or online, one thing’s for sure: when Mahomes and Allen share the same field, something special always happens.
