The Buffalo Bills delivered their most impressive victory of the season by defeating the previously unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. The Chiefs entered the game with a 9-0 record, and while they weren’t the most dominant undefeated team, their perfect record was no accident. However, their streak came to an end on Sunday as the Bills extended their regular-season dominance over Kansas City with a 30-21 win. This marks the fifth straight game in which the Bills have scored 30 or more points, making them the first team to hit that mark against the Chiefs this season. The decisive moment of the game came on Josh Allen’s 26-yard touchdown run on 4th-and-2 just before the two-minute warning, sealing the victory for Buffalo.
Although the Bills trail the Chiefs in the conference standings (due to Buffalo entering their bye week), they hold the crucial tiebreaker over Kansas City heading into the playoffs. If both teams finish Week 18 with the same record, the Bills will secure home-field advantage.
With a strong 9-2 record, the Bills are riding high as they head into their bye week before facing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Sunday’s performance showcased to fans and analysts just how dominant the Bills can be. However, the latest Bleacher Report power rankings seem to disagree.
In the Week 12 rankings compiled by Bleacher Report’s NFL staff—featuring writers Gary Davenport, Kristopher Knox, Maurice Moton, and Brent Sobleski—the Bills remained stagnant, still ranked behind the Chiefs. How does that make sense?
Moton outright claims that the Bills are the team to beat in the AFC. Despite missing key pass-catchers like Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman, Buffalo still managed to score 30 points and not only defeat the Chiefs but do so by a two-score margin.
While power rankings don’t define a team’s greatness, fans can judge teams by their on-field performances. Ranking the Lions ahead of the Bills? That’s understandable—for now. But placing the Chiefs above the Bills? That’s simply wrong.
