‘The bye week can’t come soon enough for the Bills, who really need to get healthy. They’ve held things together quite well in the face of so many injuries to their wide receivers, and now tight end Dalton Kincaid, but it is going to catch up to them at some point. The Chiefs have a top-five defense in both yards and points allowed. They are great at defending the run. Without Kincaid and Keon Coleman, and Amari Cooper at less than 100% if he plays, that is asking too much of the Bills’ offense in this game. The Bills’ plus-13 turnover differential leads the league. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw nine interceptions in his team’s first seven games, but hasn’t thrown a pick in each of the past two weeks. If Mahomes plays a clean game, it’s hard to envision the Bills outscoring him. Chiefs, 24-20.’

‘Without Coleman and Kincaid, the Bills expect to get WR Amari Cooper back after a two-game absence, as the veteran’s recovery from a wrist injury appears to have progressed to a point that will allow him to suit up against the Chiefs. With that said, it remains to be seen how much Cooper will be able to contribute, as he appears set to play with the heavy wrap that remains on his injured right wrist.’

‘Khalil Shakir is currently Allen’s most trusted option, but if Cooper is also sidelined, the Bills will once again play with a receiving corps that includes Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers and Jalen Virgil. Chiefs standout cornerback Trent McDuffie has moved from the slot to outside this season, but it wouldn’t be a shock if he matched up with Shakir.’

Josh Allen and the art of being The Man
‘For years, Allen has been Buffalo’s Atlas — carrying the franchise, if not the entire city — and yet he has taken on even more responsibility in his seventh season. His constant quest for improvement has yielded a quarterback playing at the highest level of an awing career. After an offseason in which the Bills reset their roster, Allen has led them to back to the upper reaches of contention and mounted the league’s strongest challenge to Lamar Jackson’s MVP hegemony.’
Chiefs vs. Bills showdown: CBS Sports NFL analyst Nate Burleson breaks down most anticipated game of season
‘”With Keon Coleman being banged up, that’s tough. I’d love to see him play in this one. At the same time, you got guys like Dalton Kincaid, who can also move the chains. I do feel like they have stocked up and they are better at this position than they have been in quite some time. It’s different when you have a Stefon Diggs, a true No. 1 who is a dominant force all on his own — then have a group of guys that can all do the same thing collectively. I do feel like they have that as long as the guys are healthy.”‘
