Kansas City, Missouri – With the NFL season heating up, the race for the top seed in the AFC is intensifying. The Kansas City Chiefs currently hold the top spot with a 10-1 record, but the Buffalo Bills are hot on their trail.
The Chiefs have a one-game lead over the Bills, but Buffalo holds the tiebreaker after a head-to-head victory earlier in the season. Led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City is facing tough competition in the coming weeks, including matchups against the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Denver Broncos.
