The Kansas City Chiefs lose to the Buffalo Bills, their first loss this calendar year. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes hopes that the shot across the bow will have an invigorating effect.
NFL champion Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first defeat of the season after nine wins in a row.
The team around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, which wants to make history with its third Super Bowl triumph in a row, lost the top game at the Buffalo Bills 21:30. Across all seasons, it was the Chiefs’ first defeat since December 2023 (14:20 against the Las Vegas Raiders).
Bills quarterback Josh Allen scored the decisive touchdown after a 26-yard run. Buffalo is comfortably at the top of the AFC East with a record of nine wins and two losses, just like Kansas City in the AFC West.
“Being undefeated was cool. But that is not our ultimate goal. So we’re going to continue to work toward that,” Mahomes said. The Bills are “a good football team. There’s no reason to hang your head if you lose to them.”
NFL: Mahomes hopes for valuable “fuel”
The Chiefs had won their first nine games, but without really dominating. Seven of these victories were by just one score and four of them were decided on the last play of the game. The Bills now outscored the Chiefs by more than 100 yards.
Mahomes called the loss “fuel” for the rest of the Chiefs’ season: “We believe we can play better, so we’re going to go back to work and try to use this as a spark to end up playing better football.” To be a team.”
The shot across the bow may lead the Chiefs to “play with more clarity from now on, especially at the beginning of the games.”
