ORCHARD PARK, NY — Buffalo and Kansas City will meet again in January.

Because of course they will.

That’s how this rivalry works. Then — and only then — will the Bills truly feel satisfied knocking off Patrick Mahomes. But Sunday evening’s 30-21 triumph still felt like a major step in the right direction for Sean McDermott’s team.

In sum, they played to win. They let their own virtuoso at the position, Josh Allen, take over on fourth and 2.

I’ll have a column from the game at Go Long Monday AM. Until then, here’s an instant reaction video with Jim Monos, the team’s former director of personnel and 2009 Super Bowl champ with the Saints.

Thanks, all!
