The Buffalo Bills waited months to get their revenge from the AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and they came through with a 24-20 victory.
Josh Allen orchestrated a 12-play, fourth-quarter touchdown drive that was capped by a 14-yard Dawson Knox touchdown catch to put the Bills ahead with the eventual game-winning score. It required Allen to rush for two yards to pick up a 4th-and-1 conversion for a first down, but the Bills didn’t have much problem getting down the field after that.
Allen had 329 yards with three touchdowns on 27-for-40 through the air, while rushing for 32 yards on 12 carries. And his favorite target was Stefon Diggs, who totaled 148 yards on 10 receptions, including a 17-yard touchdown catch down the right sideline that was put right in the bread basket.

This game was everything you’d expect from both of these high-octane offenses. Patrick Mahomes was matching Allen’s offensive prowess in front of his home crowd. But when the Chiefs needed a big drive from him the most, his first pass was picked off by Taron Johnson to seal the win for the Bills.
It was Mahomes’ second interception of the day, as his first drive of the afternoon was picked off in the end zone on a jump ball with Bills defenders and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. It ended the Chiefs 14-play drive in disappointment after the defense recovered a fumble from the Bills to start the game.
