After the Kansas City Chiefs were rocked by the Green Bay Packers on the road at Lambeau Field, many have started to wonder whether the defending Super Bowl champions are good enough this season to successfully defend their title or even make a deep run in the NFL playoffs.
Even though the team went on to win it all last year after shockingly trading superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins, that trade is starting to come up in conversations as they have been unsuccessful in their attempts to bring in another pass-catcher to complement Travis Kelce in the passing game.
The Chiefs are no longer looked at as that elite team that figures out a way to win every week with few flaws to pick at as the mystique appears to be gone, and this season might end sooner rather than later as a result.
Nick Wright of FOX Sports, who has no problem talking about his love for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, believes the matchup with the Buffalo Bills will be crucial to how the season pans out for Kansas City, via “First Things First.”
“The game against the Bills is the biggest regular season game of the Mahomes era. If they win, they end the Bills & end up the 1-seed. If they lose, all of a sudden the mystique will be broken & the Arrowhead Invitational will officially be canceled.”

Even though the Chiefs aren’t the same dominant team of old, Kansas City can’t be ruled out as a legitimate Super Bowl title contender, as this team has been arguably the most resilient team in the league ever since Mahomes took over under center for Andy Reid.
The game against the Bills will be telling, as Wright points out, as everything will be on the line for Josh Allen and company, while everyone will be waiting to jump on the Chiefs if they lose a second straight game.
