The Kansas City Chiefs earned their first lead against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night when quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for a touchdown late in the second quarter.
After Kansas City’s defense held Buffalo to minimal gains on a Bills offensive drive, punt returner Richie James set the Chiefs up with decent field position. A long run by Clyde Edwards-Helaire set Kansas City up in scoring position. Mahomes looked Kelce’s way on a crucial second down to score six points and gain the advantage on the road.

This touchdown was a key moment in the back-and-fourth first half and could give the Chiefs a chance to push their lead to two scores if they can keep Buffalo from scoring before halftime.
Kansas City is set to receive the second-half kickoff, and have proven that they can move their offense downfield to score points against the Bills’ ailing defense.
