Bills Look to Snap Chiefs’ Unbeaten Streak and Continue Dominance
In Week 11, the Buffalo Bills aim to break the Kansas City Chiefs’ unbeaten streak, which stretches back to last Christmas. A win would also mark the Bills’ fourth consecutive regular-season victory against the reigning Super Bowl champions.
However, that’s no simple task. The Chiefs feature a top-tier roster led by one of the most legendary quarterback and head coach duos in NFL history. Additionally, tight end Travis Kelce has recently returned to his Hall of Fame-caliber form, making the challenge even greater.
In true Chiefs fashion, the Bills must capitalize on their opponent’s vulnerabilities this Sunday. Although these weaknesses are rare, injuries and inexperience could provide Buffalo with an advantage in certain areas.
1. Left Tackle Troubles
One of the Chiefs’ most pressing issues lies at left tackle—a position they’ve attempted to bolster in the last two drafts. In 2023, they selected Wanya Morris with the 92nd overall pick, and in 2024, they doubled down by drafting Kingsley Suamataia with the 63rd overall pick.
Neither player has developed into the reliable left tackle the Chiefs had hoped for, and both remain highly inexperienced, with a combined total of just 13 starts over the past season and a half.
Morris has been the more dependable option, but ongoing knee issues have limited his availability, including a missed stretch during the Chiefs’ Week 10 win against the Denver Broncos. When Suamataia stepped in to replace Morris, he struggled significantly, frequently being beaten on the edge—even with added help from running backs or tight ends providing chip blocks.
The Chiefs surrendered four sacks to the Broncos, and it could have been five if not for an illegal contact penalty that negated a sack by linebacker Nik Bonitto.
