Bills, Chiefs Clash with Trade Deadline Looming

The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs meet Sunday for the 10th overall and sixth straight regular-season game in a marquee AFC rivalry featuring Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Mahomes leads the series 5-4 overall while Buffalo holds a 4-1 edge in regular-season meetings, and Kansas City has repeatedly won the postseason games that have haunted Bills fans. Both teams enter off dominant wins and sit near the top of the AFC (Bills 5-2, Chiefs 5-3), making the game pivotal for playoff seeding and division positioning. Injuries — most notably Buffalo losing interior defensive tackle Ed Oliver for the season — have intensified the need for depth on both rosters ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline. Veteran Calais Campbell has been mentioned as a potential target, but salary-cap limits and differing draft capital make a blockbuster unlikely even as both clubs are expected to be active.
