Notable Quotables:
Chiefs:

"The thing that is so great about [Mahomes] is that he doesn't let things get to him. He just keeps firing when needed and he keeps leading all the time – even when things aren't working well for him or for somebody else. He's got an innate ability to lead other guys and they're willing to listen to him, and then he ends up with these plays that we're lucky to have here and lucky to see."

--Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid

Bills:

"They're throwing so many looks at the opposing quarterbacks right now. Bringing pressures from every side imaginable. They got guys that are playing really well. Obviously, #95 moved back inside. When he wants to go, he can go against anybody and he's one of the better players in the league. Obviously outside they've got a couple of guys that get after the quarterback. Some smart savvy guys in the secondary are playing really good football together right now. So, we got to be on top of our game, communication-wise obviously with the crowd noise, and we got to make some plays come Sunday night."

--Bills Quarterback Josh Allen

Expert's Picks:


Prisco's Pick:

This is a rematch from a game earlier this season that the Bills won on the Chiefs' home field. The Bills and Chiefs are both coming off impressive victories. Both Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen lit up their opponents last week, but this is a big step up for both in terms of defenses. The Bills have the top-ranked defense in the league and built their pass rush in the offseason to beat Mahomes. The Chiefs defense isn't as good, but it played much better over the course of the second half of the season. The Chiefs love to blitz, which will leave Allen free to run and make throws on the run. I think that will be the difference here. The Bills behind Allen will win a fun shootout for the ages. Chiefs 33 Bills 34
