Patrick Mahomes offered a measured appraisal of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen ahead of the Chiefs‑Bills matchup, outlining the traits that make Allen a uniquely difficult opponent. Mahomes highlighted Allen’s combination of size, mobility and downfield playmaking as the core reasons he stands out among NFL quarterbacks.
Mahomes noted that Allen’s ability to extend plays with his legs and still deliver accurate, deep throws forces defences to account for multiple threats on every snap. That dual‑threat profile changes rush concepts and coverage plans, often creating mismatches or sudden explosive gains that swing momentum in an instant.

The Chiefs approach to the game reflects respect for those skills while keeping the focus on their own preparation and execution. Kansas City coaches have emphasised discipline in pass‑rush lanes and assignment football to limit Allen’s ability to improvise, and the offence plans to sustain drives to keep Buffalo’s playmakers off the field.
Recent meetings between these clubs have been tight affairs, with several contests decided by single plays in high‑leverage moments. Mahomes said that history matters less than performing in the present, a view reinforced by both teams’ records and the playoff implications that still hang over AFC contenders as the season moves into November.
Buffalo couples Allen’s scrambling with a strong running game and a defensive front that can generate pressure, presenting a full‑team test for Kansas City. The Bills’ overall balance has been a hallmark of their success, and stopping the run while maintaining coverage integrity will be central to any plan to contain Allen.
