Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports
Chiefs running backs combined for more than 200 yards in the win.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had missed four extra points in five games, including one earlier in the night against the Buffalo Bills. But needing a 30-yard field goal — about the same length as an extra point — to ice the game, Butker made it — and the Chiefs wrapped up their 26-17 win in what was a dogfight in Buffalo.
Two days after announcing the signing of Le’Veon Bell, the Chiefs three other running backs — Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson — combined for 204 rushing yards in the Kansas City win. Edwards-Helaire led the way with 161.
The Chiefs shook things up along the offensive line heading into the game, with veteran Daniel Kilgore replacing Austin Reiter at center. When starting right tackle Mitch Schwartz had to leave the game due to a back injury, left guard Mike Remmers shifted over to right tackle and second-year offensive lineman Nick Allegretti entered the game at left guard.
With a new-look offensive line on the second drive, Edwards-Helaire set the Chiefs up with a 31-yard run to the Buffalo 44. A few plays later, tight end Travis Kelce gave the Chiefs a 7-3 lead with an 11-yard score.
In the second quarter, referees called Chiefs cornerback Charvarius Ward for defensive pass interference on Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, bringing the Bills to the Kansas City 4. Diggs beat Ward just beyond the right pylon on the next play, dragging two feet in bounds to put Buffalo ahead 10-7.
Edwards-Helaire continued his strong effort on the next drive, carrying the ball four times for 36 yards. After a 6-yard touchdown for Edwards-Helaire that was called back due to a holding call, Kelce finished the job with his second touchdown of the game. With Butker’s missed extra point, the Chiefs only led 13-10 headed into halftime.
The Chiefs offensive line continued their strong game in the third quarter, opening up lanes for a mix of Edwards-Helaire, Thompson and Williams as part of a 13-play drive that shaved nearly eight minutes off the clock. Facing fourth-and-1 at the Buffalo 13, Andy Reid kept the offense on the field. Williams ran 13 yards for the touchdown, making it 20-10 Kansas City. Butker extended the lead to 13 in the fourth quarter with a 37-yard field goal.
After that lengthy drive, Buffalo did what it had to do in order to stay in the game. Allen marched the offense down the field in just two minutes and 33 seconds, cutting the Chiefs’ lead to 23-17 with six and a half minutes to play. The Bills defense first forced the Chiefs to third-and-12 at the Kansas City 33, but Mahomes converted a first down by finding wide receiver Byron Pringle for 37 yards. On a third-and-7 later in the drive, Mahomes scrambled for nine yards.
After Butker’s field goal, safety Daniel Sorensen intercepted Allen to seal the game.
Injuries
- Right tackle Mitch Schwartz was a surprise addition to the injury report with a back issue on Friday, and he only lasted a series before leaving the game. Mike Remmers slid over to right tackle while Nick Allegretti filled in at left guard.
- Defensive end Alex Okafor left the game during the second quarter with a hamstring injury
