‘Mahomes never seemed comfortable in passing situations, wasn’t able to stretch the field and turned the ball over three times. He was intercepted twice, one a “pick six” by safety Micah Hyde, who went 26 yards for the score, the other by rookie defensive end Greg Rousseau, who used his long arms to tip a pass to himself deep in Buffalo territory.

Allen’s average of 31.3 yards per completion in the first half made him the 12th player since 1991 to top at least 31 yards in that category, and the first since Cleveland’s Baker Mayfield on Dec. 29, 2019.’
Plays that shaped the game: Josh Allen’s leap was exclamation point on big win
‘The Chiefs rushed six men at Allen on a third-and-4 play from the Buffalo 40 with 9:36 to go. With linebacker Ben Niemann and safety Daniel Sorensen blitzing up the middle, Allen saw the area off left tackle open. Allen left his feet at the 38, vaulted Sneed at the 40 and landed at the 42.’
