Dawson Knox Luke Chiefs Josh Allen Bills

The Bills were locked in a 60-minute heavyweight fight with the Chiefs on Sunday, and they had to pull out all the stops to get the win. And with a heroic performance from Josh Allen, along with dominant closer-level play from Von Miller, Buffalo got exactly what it needed to take early pole position for home-field advantage in the AFC.

NFL fans were touched by Dawson Knox honoring his late brother during the Bills' big win
