Chiefs vs. Bills in Week 11: Is Josh Allen right about the hype?<\/h2>\n

The Week 11 clash between Kansas City and Buffalo at the Bills Stadium is arguably the most intriguing game left on the Chiefs’ schedule. Kansas City is looking to become the third team in NFL history to finish the regular season with a perfect record, after the Miami Dolphins, who were the\u00a0first to achieve the feat in 1972, and the New England Patriots, who went 16-0 in 2007.<\/p>\n

The Bills, though, would love to play spoilers and exact revenge for their loss to the Chiefs in the divisional round of the 2023 playoffs. However,\u00a0Josh Allen\u00a0is spot-on about the game not being any more important than the 10 they have played so far this season.<\/p>\n

Buffalo is 8-2 and has a 4.5-game lead over the Dolphins in the race for the AFC East title. They will close the gap on the Chiefs in the race for the #1 seed in the playoffs to one game with a win on Sunday. But even if they run the table and finish 15-2, they’d have to depend on Kansas City losing another game before the end of the regular season.<\/p>\n

A win will ensure that they stay ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and the rest of the chasing pack and hold on to the second spot in the playoff seeding. However, that scenario likely won’t change until Week 18, meaning every game will be as important as the one on Sunday against the Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Allen downplaying the game’s importance could be a tactic to alleviate pressure off him and his teammates, but his logic is accurate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
