4 takeaways from Chiefs’ Week 5 loss to Bills

Totally dominated in all four quarters, the Kansas City Chiefs are officially approaching collapse in what has been a disappointing start to their 2021 campaign. To their credit, the Buffalo Bills played a solid game, keeping Kansas City at bay with their resurgent defense and setting the pace offensively behind a masterful game from Josh Allen.

Buffalo did everything they needed to do to unseat the Chiefs as AFC favorites, handing them their third loss of the season. While there is plenty of season left to get things back on track, panic seems to be setting in at Arrowhead Stadium, and if answers don’t come soon, fans will clamor for some kind of change.

It’s always tough to see a team fall from grace the way Kansas City has this year, but a change of the guard atop the conference could give the Chiefs a chip on their shoulders that carries them to success as the schedule progresses. Losses like this are all about the bounce-back, so if they can get it together defensively and find their offensive rhythm, things might not be as bad as they seem right now.
