Thad’s Three Things: Bills at Chiefs
‘Benford might be an underrated piece among the cavalry for this game. The Steelers saw a weakness on the perimeter, primarily with Kaiir Elam, and attacked it mercilessly. Elam is the squarest peg in the round hole that is the Sean McDermott zone scheme. It’s always been expected he will need time to develop.

‘”There are so many things that make it hard as a defensive coordinator to prepare for what he’s capable of doing because there’s some things you can prepare for, but he does things that you can’t prepare for,” said Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier of Mahomes. “You can show some plays on tape and say there aren’t many guys that can do this. There are so many rarities in his game, and he’s a special player for sure. And you just got to find a way to disrupt the timing somehow. But he’s going to make some plays, he’s too talented not to.

Quietly, Bills center Mitch Morse grows personally and as a football player

The two teams have become further linked with Kansas City ending Buffalo’s season the last two years.’
