The NFL’s most compelling quarterback rivalry since Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning resumes when the Kansas City Chiefs visit the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.
It will be the 10th meeting between Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs and Josh Allen of the Bills, including the playoffs.
Despite the intensity of their matchups, the quarterbacks have maintained mutual respect throughout their ongoing competition.
Mahomes recently shared his perspective on Allen ahead of their upcoming meeting.
“To be that size and to be able to move like that. The way he’s able to extend plays and make the big-time throws down the field. He’s a great football player,” Mahomes said.

Buffalo holds a 4-1 advantage in the regular-season matchups, establishing a clear edge when the games carry standard stakes.
The postseason has told a different story, as Mahomes owns a perfect 4-0 record against the Bills in playoff games.
Kansas City has won five of its past six games after a slow start to this season, with Mahomes returning to MVP form during the stretch.
His connection with Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy has sharpened in recent weeks, creating problems for opposing defenses.
The Chiefs have reestablished themselves as one of the league’s premier teams.
So, the Bills will face a significant test.
Allen and his teammates will need their best performance to counter in the latest entry in this AFC rivalry.
