Patrick Mahomes Makes Bold Statement About Chiefs-Bills Rivalry After Upset Loss
The Kansas City Chiefs’ unbeaten streak ended with a surprising 30-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 at Highmark Stadium. The defeat halted the defending Super Bowl champions’ nine-game winning streak and left no undefeated teams in the NFL after Sunday’s action.
The Chiefs and Bills have consistently been evenly matched. Since 2024, when quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen began facing off, the two AFC powerhouses have split their eight meetings (regular season and playoffs) 4-4. The rivalry’s intensity makes another matchup feel almost inevitable—something Mahomes acknowledged after the game.
Mahomes on Facing the Bills Again: “We’ll Do It Again”
Following the game, Mahomes approached Allen to congratulate him and hinted at future battles between the teams. “We’ll do it again, baby,” Mahomes told Allen in a moment captured by *NFL on CBS*. Despite the loss, Mahomes posted a decent stat line, completing 23 of 33 passes for 196 yards and three touchdowns, though he also threw two interceptions. Allen, on the other hand, excelled, completing 27 of 40 passes for 262 yards and one touchdown, adding 55 rushing yards and another score.
The Bills’ win continues their recent dominance in the regular season, where they have now won their last four meetings with the Chiefs, outscoring them by an average of 8.5 points per game. However, the postseason tells a different story. The Chiefs have won all three playoff matchups against the Bills since 2020, including last January’s 27-24 victory in the Divisional Round, paving the way for Kansas City’s second consecutive Super Bowl title.
Chiefs Fans Keep Perspective
Despite the setback, Chiefs fans remain optimistic. Many highlighted Mahomes’ proven ability to deliver when it matters most—in the postseason. Comments online expressed confidence that Kansas City’s focus remains on championships rather than mid-season wins.
“If the Chiefs go on to win their third straight Super Bowl, this loss will be long forgotten,” one fan commented. Others joked about the Bills’ history of regular-season success failing to translate into playoff victories.
Super Bowl Odds Shift
The loss has slightly impacted Kansas City’s odds of winning Super Bowl LIX. Previously the favorites, the Chiefs now sit at +500, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, with the Bills close behind at +700. While the road to another championship may be tougher, Mahomes and the Chiefs have shown they’re more than capable of rising to the occasion when it counts.
