I think it’s because the chiefs path to victory is a lot easier with the way their defense is playing. With Buffalo, they’re relying on scoring 30-40+ points against good teams to win games. Not as sustainable.

[@arthurau9231]

The smart thing would be to have the Bills bench their starters and intentionally lose to the Pats because it guarantees the Chiefs the 1 seed meaning, they too would rest their starters against the Steelers. This is important for the Bills as it would've meant the Steelers would be playing against the Chiefs B team and most likely kept the Ravens as the 5th seed. If you're the Bills, you want the Ravens to play the Chiefs in the divisional round.

[@MaRkYWaHoO]

You cant take a single game and make conclusions about a team or player, you have to look at the at least a month to see trends. I guarantee if next week the Bills go hang 35 points on the Jets that they will suddenly be the greatest thing since sliced bread again. Allen is really the only great player on that team.
