Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will always have historical ties.
In 2017, the Bills traded the 10th overall pick of the NFL Draft to the Chiefs so they could bring Mahomes to Kansas City. You could call that a misjudgment — but later that day, the Bills acquired All-Pro cornerback Tre’Davious White with the Chiefs’ 27th pick. A year later, parlayed Kansas City’s 22nd selection into acquiring two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Tremaine Edwards at 16. Allen had been taken nine spots earlier.
More recently, though, Mahomes and Allen will be forever tied by their performances in 2021’s Divisional round playoff game in Kansas City, which is already being heralded as one of the greatest games in NFL history.
