The struggling Buffalo Bills travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the stuttering Chiefs in this marquee NFL week 14 matchup. Kansas City has a comfortable lead in the AFC West with their 8-4 record putting them in first-place above the 6-6 Denver Broncos. The Bills, meanwhile, have experienced a hugely disappointing season and are battling for their playoff lives with a 6-6 record and a second-place position in the AFC East. Kansas City got off to a red-hot 6-1 start through the first eight weeks of the season but have since struggled for consistency. A 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers last week means the defending champions have now gone 2-3 in their last five games. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was kept quiet and managed to pass for only 210 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Chiefs defense, which has been superb overall this season, had one of their worst games of the season as they gave up a season-high points total and allowed Jordan Love to throw three touchdowns and 267 yards.

This a must-win spot for Buffalo as a loss would put them below .500 with four games left to play. A win for the Bills would raise their chances at making the playoffs to 33% while a loss would drag that number all the way down to 7%. Things looked to be going to plan for Buffalo in the start of the campaign as they raced out to a 3-1 start after the first four weeks of play. Since then, the wheels have come off for last season’s AFC East division winners as they’ve managed to go just 3-5 in the next eight games. Buffalo suffered a heartbreaking 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles in their most recent outing. However, one thing working in Buffalo’s favor is their recent record against the Chiefs at Arrowhead. The visitors recorded a 24-20 victory in their last trip to this stadium and have won their last two matchups against the defending champions in the regular season.
