Defensive Summary:
Kansas City’s defense has been one of the NFL’s best, ranking 2nd in points allowed and 4th in total defense. Buffalo’s pass defense is elite (2nd), but their weakness lies in stopping the run — a potential edge for Kansas City’s RB duo of Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt. The Bills counter with stronger pass-rush numbers (22 sacks), capable of pressuring Mahomes consistently.
