The Chiefs never win this way. They did Monday
The Chiefs piled up 245 rushing yards, the most in the Andy Reid era, in a 26-17 victory over the Buffalo Bills. A sign of things to come, especially with Le’Veon Bell on the way?

The Chiefs, a power running team? It looked that way in their 26-17 victory at Buffalo on Monday. For the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era the Chiefs gained more yards on the ground (245) than through the air (211). And it happened despite some shuffling on the offensive line.
The triumph was the topic on a postgame SportsBeat Live on Monday with writers Sam Mellinger, Vahe Gregorian and Sam McDowell with host Blair Kerkhoff. We’ll hear part of the conversation on today’s SportsBeat KC.
Before that, we’ll hear from Patrick Mahomes and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Both players had big games, with Mahomes throwing a pair of touchdown passes to Travis Kelce and Edwards-Helaire rushing for 161 yards, matching the third most by a Chiefs rookie running back.
