The next stop on the Kansas City Chiefs’ voyage toward perfection continues on the road with Sunday’s Week 11 showdown with the Buffalo Bills.

The AFC juggernauts have created quite the rivalry as they’ve gone head-to-head in the regular playoffs and postseason in recent years.

and chances are this weekend’s Chiefs vs. Bills clash won’t be any different.

Even though the Chiefs are the NFL’s last remaining undefeated team, they can’t afford to underestimate the Bills.

Buffalo boasts its fair share of playmakers on both sides of the ball, giving head coach Sean McDermott a roster that’s good enough to compete against any team in the league.

While the Bills won’t go down without a fight this weekend, beating them could be easier following the franchise’s latest injury news.

 

Chiefs Injury News: Keon Coleman Won’t Play for Bills in Week 11.

 

The Athletic‘s Joe Buscaglia reported on Monday evening that Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman won’t face the Chiefs in Week 11 due to a wrist injury.

The rookie WR has been a key part of Buffalo’s offense with 22 receptions, 417 receiving yards.

and a team-leading three touchdown catches in nine games.

 

 

Coleman’s upcoming absence isn’t the only good news that Chiefs fans learned about.

Buscaglia also added that Bills WR Amari Cooper is still being hampered by a wrist injury while.

tight end Dalton Kincaid’s status is up in the air after he suffered a knee injury during the Week 10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

Opponents have struggled to stop the Bills’ offense all season as they average 29.0 points per game (3rd).

Having said that, their attack will become more manageable if Cooper and/or Kincaid wind up joining Coleman on the sidelines this weekend.

 

Since Patrick Mahomes took over as the starting quarterback in 2018, the Chiefs are 4-3 across their last seven meetings with the Bills.

Three of those matchups occurred in the postseason.

including when Kansas City notched a 27-24 victory over Buffalo in the AFC Division Round before going on to win Super Bowl LVIII three weeks later.

Even though the Chiefs are the road team this time around, playing in enemy territory isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Kansas City hasn’t lost at Highmark Stadium since September 2012, going 4-0 with a plus-6.5 average scoring margin in its four subsequent visits to Buffalo.

The Chiefs will need to give a full effort if they want to extend that trend.

After all, FanDuel Sportsbook is currently projecting the Bills as slight 1.5-point favorites ahead of Sunday’s pivotal showdown.
