Davis had eight catches for 201 yards and an NFL playoff-record four touchdowns when the Bills and Chiefs met in their memorable January divisional game. He has 11 catches for 309 yards and three TDs this season.’

Bills vs. Chiefs: How much has Josh Allen closed the gap on Patrick Mahomes? Or is he better?
‘Therefore, that data for this study begins in 2020, when Allen and the Bills began to ascend into the Mahomesian and Chiefs stratosphere, and really, started to make this debate a serious one. Also, starting in 2020 provides a 53-game sample size for Allen, which is safely out of flash-in-the-pan territory. Plus, these more recent figures serve as better indicators than 2018 or 2019 when attempting to determine how Allen plays now.’
Chiefs-Bills trade that landed Kansas City Patrick Mahomes paid major dividends for both teams
‘The Bills got an All-Pro cornerback, a two-time Pro Bowl linebacker, a Pro Bowl left tackle and a solid reserve defensive back as a result of the Mahomes deal. Jones is also still in the league and is on his third team, yet is a starting wide receiver. Buffalo was also able to draft its franchise quarterback in Josh Allen in 2018, but the core players of a dominant defense and a good left tackle came as a result of the trade down with Kansas City.’

A defensive mind | How Bills DC Leslie Frazier crafted a modern NFL defense while staying true to his roots
‘Since Frazier came to Buffalo in 2017, the Bills have had one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Mark Gaughan: Offensive tackles for Bills, Chiefs on spot with big stakes on line
‘For the offensive tackles, the benefit of home-field advantage matters at least a little, more than other positions, even if they don’t want to admit it. Kansas City and Buffalo are two of the toughest places to play in the NFL, with two of the most rabid fan bases. The deafening noise from the home crowd when the opponent has the ball gives at least a small edge to the home team’s edge rushers.’

Buffalo Bills injury updates: Tre'Davious White returns to practice, won't play vs Chiefs
‘Last week, when he was eligible to be activated, the Bills held off because they didn’t want to start the 21-day clock on White’s return to the field. When a player comes off PUP, he has three weeks to get ready to play, and if the team doesn’t activate him within that time frame, he must go on the injured reserve list, which would mean at least four more games of sitting out.’
