Week 11 Result: Won vs. Kansas City 30-21

It can be argued that the biggest Week 11 statement was made on a fourth down in the fourth quarter in Buffalo.

Up two points and facing 4th-and-2 inside field-goal range, the Buffalo Bills eschewed a kick. Instead, quarterback Josh Allen took off. Twenty-six yards and seven points later, the Bills handed the Chiefs their first loss and made their own statement as the team to beat in the AFC.

While talking to reporters after the victory, Allen said that he appreciated head coach Sean McDermott going with the aggressive route on the play.

“I appreciated Coach for trusting us,” said Allen. “Any time you give the ball back to Pat (Mahomes), that offense, down six with the game on the line, I like their odds in that situation,” Allen added. “So, wanting six or seven (points) to try to make it a two-score game.”

After watching Allen roll through the Chiefs defense, wide receiver Khalil Shakir said that he’s just glad Allen is on his team.

“When Josh takes off, I find myself just watching, like, ‘Wow, he’s different,'” Shakir said. “When he took off today, I just started yelling. I couldn’t stop yelling. I was blanking in the head.”

After a two-score win over the reigning champions, Buffalo is the team to beat in the AFC. Without starting tight end Dalton Kincaid and upstart rookie wideout Keon Coleman, the Bills knocked off the Chiefs, who came into Week 11 undefeated.

Though the Chiefs have had the Bills’ number in January, Buffalo should feel confident about another meeting with Kansas City in the playoffs. — Moton
