In a thrilling matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs topped the Buffalo Bills 31-25 in Week 12 of the 2026 season. The win was crucial for the Chiefs as they look to solidify their playoff positioning, while the Bills aimed to keep pace in a tightly contested division race.
Patrick Mahomes once again showcased his elite talent, throwing for 349 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Chiefs' offense with precision.
