Chiefs Continue Pursuit of Perfection with Week 11 Road Game Against Bills
The Kansas City Chiefs’ quest for an undefeated season takes them on the road this Sunday for a highly anticipated Week 11 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. These two AFC powerhouses have established a fierce rivalry, facing off in both the regular season and postseason in recent years. This weekend’s Chiefs vs. Buffalo game promises to be another exciting clash.
Despite being the NFL’s only unbeaten team, the Chiefs can’t take the Bills lightly. With playmakers on both offense and defense, Buffalo, led by head coach Sean McDermott, has a roster capable of competing with any team in the league. However, the Chiefs may benefit from recent injury setbacks affecting the Bills.
According to The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia, Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman will miss Week 11 due to a wrist injury. Coleman has been a crucial part of Buffalo’s offense this season, recording 22 receptions for 417 yards and leading the team with three touchdown catches. Additional concerns remain for Buffalo, as wide receiver Amari Cooper is still dealing with a wrist issue, and tight end Dalton Kincaid’s status is uncertain after sustaining a knee injury in last week’s win over the Colts. These potential absences could make it easier for the Chiefs to manage Buffalo’s offense, which ranks third in the league with 29 points per game.
Since Patrick Mahomes took the reins in 2018, the Chiefs have gone 4-3 in their last seven matchups with the Bills, including three postseason meetings. This run includes a 27-24 victory in the AFC Division Round, which ultimately helped Kansas City claim Super Bowl LVIII. Despite being the visitors this time, the Chiefs have a strong record at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium, going 4-0 there since 2012 with an average margin of victory of 6.5 points.
To continue this streak, Kansas City will need to bring their best effort. Notably, FanDuel Sportsbook currently has the Bills as slight 1.5-point favorites ahead of Sunday’s showdown.
