Here’s what happened in our simulation:
First quarter
The Kansas City Chiefs’ opening drive wore down the Buffalo Bills’ defense, ending with a 12-play, 78-yard march over six minutes and 41 seconds, capped by a Travis Kelce touchdown.
Patrick Mahomes converted three key third downs to keep the drive alive, with DeAndre Hopkins catching two of them and a returning JuJu Smith-Schuster hauling in the other.
The Chiefs’ defense smothered the Bills’ offense, forcing two punts.
End of the first quarter: Chiefs 7, Bills 0
Second quarter
The Bills put together a promising drive that reached the Chiefs’ 15-yard line, but a Josh Allen pass intended for Amari Cooper was intercepted in the end zone by Trent McDuffie, halting the advance.
