It feels like the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season has reached a fever pitch as they prepare to host the visiting Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. From what’s at stake (at trip to the AFC Championship game) to the building of a very real rivalry and the star power to the momentum of both teams, there are just so many exciting elements in play. You can bet the NFL is excited to see the results.
Even to the casual NFL fan, the Bills vs. Chiefs game is going to be a must-watch on Sunday evening. Patrick Mahomes is always a serious prime-time draw and Josh Allen is beginning to move the meter in the same way.
Just last week, Mahomes put up five touchdown passes on a solid Pittsburgh Steelers defense, but even that marvelous performance paled in comparison to the overall body of work put out by the Buffalo Bills is a complete shellacking of the New England Patriots.
Perhaps other names like Justin Herbert could be floated in the same conversation, but Allen and Mahomes are likely the two most popular names when discussing the game’s best young quarterbacks. it also doesn’t hurt to have receivers like Travis Kelce, Stefan Diggs, Tyreek Hill, and Emmanuel Sanders involved.
For those wanting to watch the game, the Chiefs and Bills are set to kick off at 5:30 p.m. C.T. on CBS. If CBS does not work for you and you’re looking for a streaming option, our friends at Fubo TV have you covered. You can also check out the Chiefs mobile app and other options here.

Many people may be quick to anoint the Kansas City Chiefs as the AFC's representative in Super Bowl LVI, but remember that Cincinnati edged Kansas City when these two high-octane offenses faced off in Week 17. Yes, the Chiefs have dominated the AFC ever since Patrick Mahomes' sudden rise to stardom, securing an NFL record fourth straight AFC Championship Game appearance with Sunday night's thrilling overtime win over the Bills. But who's to say the upstart Bengals, fresh off an upset of the No. 1-seeded Titans in Tennessee, can't steal the spotlight on Championship Sunday with another big-play outing from Joe Burrow?
