The Chiefs’ showdown against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday had all the makings of a disappointing home loss — at least early on.
It was cold and rainy, and the Chiefs appeared to be sleepwalking while the Bills — led by quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who was making all sorts of gorgeous throws — jumped out to 10-point lead.
Prior to Sunday, that would be a pretty good indicator of a defeat, as the Chiefs had lost 20 of the previous 21 games in which they trailed by at least 10 points. What's more, a number of key Chiefs — including outside linebacker Justin Houston (knee), left tackle Eric Fisher (head and neck) and center Mitch Morse (concussion) — were lost during the game with injuries.
