The Kansas City Chiefs were beaten in the heavyweight clash with fellow AFC powerhouses the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and NFL pundit Skip Bayless firmly believes Patrick Mahomes is the man to blame.
There were sprinklings of trademark Mahomes brilliance in a thrilling duel with Josh Allen at Arrowhead Stadium, but when the Bills quarterback capped a clutch fourth-quarter drive with a bullet pass into the arms of Dawson Knox to go ahead 24-20 with a minute left, the KC QB could not respond.
After racking up 338 yards and two touchdowns earlier in the game, he tossed his second interception, with Taron Johnson jumping the route to clinch a memorable – and potentially crucial – victory for the Bills. Both teams are the top contenders for the number-one seed in the AFC and the Bills (5-1) now boast a tiebreaker over their rivals in pursuit of home advantage and a first-round bye.
