Buffalo Bills Edge Kansas City Chiefs 28–21; Cam Little Sets Field Goal Record
In a standout Week 9 matchup of the 2025 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 28–21 at home, while elsewhere Cam Little etched his name in the record books with the longest field goal in league history.
Bills Take Control
Quarterback Josh Allen delivered an elite performance, completing 23 of 26 passes (an 88.5 % completion rate) for 273 yards, threw one touchdown pass and rushed for two more.
Meanwhile, running back James Cook carried 27 times for 114 yards, helping to establish and maintain Buffalo’s ground game.
Buffalo jumped out in front and never trailed, scoring one touchdown each in the first and third quarters, and two in the second. Kansas City managed 13 points in the second quarter and 8 in the fourth, but a late Bills defensive stand ended the Chiefs’ final drive.
Chiefs’ Struggles
For the Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, Sunday brought stark difficulties. Mahomes completed just 15 of 34 passes (44.1 %) for 250 yards, with no passing touchdowns and one interception, the worst completion percentage of his career.
Kansas City’s offence was sacked three times and hit on 15 other occasions as Buffalo’s defenders applied constant pressure.
In the final 17 seconds, when the Chiefs had one last chance from Buffalo’s 40-yard line, Mahomes’ throw fell short of the end zone and was batted down by rookie Maxwell Hairston, sealing the Bills’ victory.
Significance & Context
With the win, Buffalo improved to 6-2, while Kansas City dropped to 5-4.
This marks the Bills’ fifth straight regular-season win over the Chiefs, though the postseason demons remain (Buffalo remains winless in their last four playoff meetings with Kansas City).
Allen’s dominant display reinforces his elite status and adds momentum to Buffalo’s push for the top of the AFC.
Cam Little’s Historic Kick
In another highlight of the weekend, Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little drilled a 68-yard field goal, breaking the NFL’s longest field goal record.
Looking Ahead
For the Chiefs, this defeat raises questions about their offence’s ability to perform against top defences, and may shake confidence heading deeper into the season. For the Bills, it’s a statement win, but coach Sean McDermott reminded everyone: “This is not the finish line.”
