As defining of a moment that was for Josh Allen and this team all of it goes out the window ahead of Sunday's matchup.
"Very talented team, a lot of speed on the field and it makes sense in terms of how Andy (Reid) has been able to lead that offense for a number of years," Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. "For that team we're about to play to have that level of success it's incredible."
"Obviously Patrick (Mahomes) is one of the greatest to ever play the game and they're one of the greatest teams ever assembled," Bills quarterback Josh. Allen said. "Going for a three-peat and that's what everyone wants to be in this league is have the sustained success that they've had."
McDermott updated the team's injury status heading into the week.
Christian Benford is in concussion protocol. He was a limited participant today. Taylor Rapp will NOT practice. He's day to day. Matt Milano is limited with hamstring soreness.
Full injury report is below.
