BillsBeat - November 15, 2024

Unbeaten Chiefs travel to face Bills in matchup of AFC division leaders

In seven meetings, Mahomes is 4-3 while combining for 2,024 yards passing, with 15 touchdowns, five interceptions, plus 219 yards rushing with a TD and lost fumble.

Amari Cooper injury update: Bills WR says wrist 'definitely feeling better,' expects to play Chiefs in Week 11

Bills vs. Chiefs in Week 11: Join The NFL Today live from Buffalo for matchup with Kansas City
‘Join Matt Ryan, Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson, James Brown and J.J. Watt — who may or may not jump through a table at a Bills Mafia tailgate — and CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones in Lot 6 at Highmark Stadium. The show will of course be broadcasted on CBS.’
Why battle between Bills' Josh Allen, Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo will decide marquee matchup
‘A primary reason Allen has been elite against the blitz is because he altered his play style. Instead of playing like a deep ball hunting scrambler, he has thrown the ball quicker and shorter than ever before. That has resulted in him starting 2024 on a seven-game streak without an interception, the longest streak without an interception by a Bills starting quarterback ever. Allen has only six turnovers in 10 games this season after having 14 in his first 10 games of 2023. It’s also worth noting Buffalo’s stability up front: they are only one of two teams to have the same offensive line starting five in every game of 2024, along with the San Francisco 49ers per CBS Sports Research, and they have the most offensive snaps played of any five-man offensive line combination. The lineup of left tackle Dion Dawkins, left guard David Edwards, center Connor McGovern, right guard O’Cyrus Torrence and right tackle Spencer Brown has 547 offensive snaps together.’
Bills' Josh Allen downplays game vs. Chiefs: 'No bigger and no less than the last 10 games that we've had'
‘”It’s a Week 11 game,” Allen said, via the team’s website. “It’s no bigger and no less than the last 10 games that we’ve had. I know the media perception and the fan perception of what this game means. But for us, it’s just a Week 11 for us.”‘
Bills may say goodbye to offensive coordinator Joe Brady after 2024 season
‘In spite of the Bills undergoing a ton of personnel changes, including trading Stefon Diggs and completely revamping their group of wide receivers, they currently rank third in the NFL in EPA per play and points per game while Josh Allen is an MVP candidate. Because of this, Brady could be gone after one year as the Bills’ play-caller, as he could be in line for a head coaching gig next season. Connor Orr of Sports Illustrated named Brady as one of the top 25 head coaching candidates for 2025 and beyond.’
Steelers star throws stray insult at Bills QB Josh Allen
‘That isn’t the only big game of the week, though. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will write the next chapter in their own historic rivalry as they’ll clash for first place in the AFC North. Ahead of that, former Raven and current Steeler DeShon Elliott appeared on Marlon Humphrey’s Punch Line podcast to talk about a range of topics, where he threw a stray insult at Bills quarterback Josh Allen.’
Bills get great news on WR Amari Cooper ahead of Week 11 vs. Chiefs
‘Cooper explicitly confirmed that he feels like he will suit up against the Chiefs. Alex Brasky additionally posted a video on X (formerly Twitter)showing Cooper practicing and wrote, “During Thursday Bills practice, WR Amari Cooper (wrist) appeared to increase his participation from what we saw last week. Thursday, Cooper caught passes both from coaches and QB Josh Allen. A good sign that he is trending toward a return following a 2-game absence.”‘
Will Buffalo Bills WR Amari Cooper play vs. Kansas City Chiefs?
‘Cooper injured his wrist in the Seattle game and hasn’t played since. He entered last week’s game against the Colts with a questionable designation but didn’t play.’
Chiefs All-Pro loves playing in Buffalo
‘“I completely enjoy playing in Buffalo, they’ve got the best wings,” Jones joked in front of reporters on Thursday. “They really do. They have some of the best wings I’ve tasted. They have a fan base very similar to ours, very in tune and very passionate about their team.”’

Guelli: 'We're very serious about bringing big events to Buffalo'
‘”We’ve asked them about the ’28 or ’29 NFL Draft. We know it’s on their radar, and we know we’re a potential destination for that event, so we’re going to continue that process,” Guelli noted.’
