The Buffalo Bills have followed up their first 4-0 start since 2008 with a two-game losing streak that’s included a disappearing act for the high-powered offense that dominated in the first month of the season.
The Bills fell to 4-2 after a 26-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night in a game that was moved from Thursday Night Football because of the Tennessee Titans’ Covid-19 situation.

Just a really sloppy game from the Bills on both sides of the ball. This game was within reach even when they weren't playing their best but they couldn't quite catch up. The good news is, they're 4-2 & their two losses are to the two teams in the AFC Championship game last year

Incredibly disappointing game for #Bills
*Defense got run over
*Allen had a bad game
*Coaches did not adjust
*Players lost composureWhat did I miss?

The #Bills have scored 17 points.
The Raiders put up 40 on KC eight days ago.
I know they gave up the huge play to Mahomes but this one is more on the offense than the defense. If we knew before the game KC would only score 26, it would've def looked like a Bills win.

Josh Allen: "I wasn't good enough. This team can't afford for me to play poorly."
Says he takes this loss personally

Bills defense has issues. Too many good players for this.

Jordan Poyer emphasizes the fact that the Bills are still 4-2, despite disappointing losses over the past two weeks.
Translation: The sky isn't falling

At the start of the season, we would have all taken 4-2 at this point. But not this way and certainly not with the major questions on D that have cropped up. #Bills

Josh Allen has now thrown for 2+ passing touchdowns in every game this season, joining Jim Kelly (7 games) as the only Bills with a 6+ game streak.

GAME PREVIEW:
The 2019 Super Bowl Champions are heading to Buffalo to wrap up Week 6 play with an early Monday Night Football matchup. The game was originally scheduled to be a Thursday Night Football contest, but due to the Week 5 Titans game being moved to Tuesday because of their COVID-19 outbreak, the game was bumped to Monday.
The Kansas City Chiefs were crowned the Super Bowl Champs after beating the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 on February 2, 2020. Going into the 2020 season, Kansas City returned several important pieces on offense and defense. The continuity on their team from last year to this year is a big reason why the Chiefs are 4-1 heading into Week 6.
It’ll also be a matchup of two 4-1 teams who left Week 5 with a bad taste in their mouth. The Chiefs lost to the Raiders 40-32, and the Bills lost to the Titans 42-16. Both teams enter Week 6 hungry and ready for revenge. The Chiefs rank eighth averaging 29.8 points per game, while the Bills rank 11th averaging 27.8 points per game. Their offenses are both top five in the league. It’s a big stage and opportunity for the Bills to bounce back against a talented Chiefs team.
