Bills at Chiefs
Bills mauled the Patriots and now take on the Chiefs in KC. Chiefs likewise hammered the Steelers.
Both teams won big on pass offense, pass defense and the run game. What will happen when the face off?
Hard to say as this matchup pits strength against strength. After a slow start to the season KC is now in high
gear and rolling up yards per attempt. While Buffalo were league leaders on our
killer stat defense, yards per attempt allowed making them the hardest team to throw on in the league.
By contrast KC's pass defense is none too stingy, ranking 22 in the chart above. They've got to
stop a Buffalo pass offense ranked 14th
on our killer stat, offense
and a rush offense ranked 11. Chiefs need a good game defensively.
In last week's wildcard weekend features we charted yards per pass attempt for the Chiefs and the defensive counterpart, opponent yards
per pass allowed for the Bills. That matchup will be big in this game. But the reverse match is too so let's look at
Bills yards per pass on their weekly chart, below. It's a capable offense, they win when they perform big and even manage to win with
a so-so performance. KC may have their hands full.
