ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Kansas City Chiefs are no longer unbeaten but they didn't seem much bothered by that, least of all quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
"The undefeated thing was cool," Mahomes said after the Chiefs took their first defeat of the season 30-21 against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. "But that's not our ultimate goal."
The Chiefs won their first nine games but were hardly dominant along the way. Seven of those victories were by one score and four were not settled until the game's final play.
The loss to the Bills was different and not just in the result.
