Bills vs. Chiefs score: Josh Allen tops Patrick Mahomes as Buffalo rallies, wins shootout rematch at Arrowhead

The Chiefs got the best of the Bills in the AFC contenders’ last two meetings, first in the conference championship and then, last year, in the divisional round’s wildest shootout. But not on Sunday. Taron Johnson jumped in front of a late Patrick Mahomes pass to seal a 24-20 victory. 

Both sides started slow in the anticipated showdown, trying so hard for big plays that they ended up with red-zone turnovers. But Mahomes and Josh Allen each delivered downfield strikes as the matchup went on, with Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis and Von Miller all logging highlights to push Buffalo to 5-1 on the season.

Mahomes notably capped the first half by delivering a pair of quick strikes in the waning seconds to set up a Chiefs franchise-record 62-yard field goal by Harrison Butker that knotted the score at 10-10. He needed just 12 seconds in total to do that, a year after using the final 13 seconds of the Bills-Chiefs playoff game to set up a field goal to force overtime. Just like in that postseason game, the two sides were also tied after the first, second and third quarters.
