The Buffalo Bills Catch a Huge Break vs. the Chiefs This Sunday

The Buffalo Bills will have to win at least four out of their remaining five games to make the playoffs. Even that won't guarantee a playoff spot, but chances are they will if they win four of five. That starts this Sunday against a very well-known opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Bills are 6-6 and the Chiefs are 8-4. It's hard to fathom the fact the Bills could be just one game back of Kansas City with a win on Sunday, but the Chiefs' offense are just not the same as it has been in recent years.

Tight end Travis Kelce has been playing with a bruised bone in his knee and is 34 years old, going on 35. The Chiefs have not gotten anything at wide receiver, outside of rookie Rashee Rice. Their defense has stepped up and helped them get to eight wins already, but the Bills will catch a break on Sunday with Chiefs injuries.

The Chiefs have already ruled out starting offensive tackle Donovan Smith, starting running back Isiah Pacheco, as well as safety Bryan Cook and linebacker Drue Tranquill.

Smith and Pacheco are huge losses for the Chiefs offense, who will have to rely on Clyde Edwards-Helaire at running back. Running Back Jerick McKinnon has also been banged up.

The Bills have to win this game, especially since they are finally getting healthier -- Dawson Knox will be back for Sunday's. Yes, the Bills are 6-6 and it's in Arrowhead Stadium, but the Bills have played well in Kansas City and with this Chiefs team and the playoff chances, this is a must and dare I say, "should" win game.

The Bills are also coming off a bye week, while the Chiefs played this past Sunday night in Green Bay.
