The Chiefs have a streak of 13 consecutive winning seasons right now. THIRTEEN! The team with the 2nd longest active winning season streak is the Bills with just 5. Do you think a 3-peat is possible?
The Bills–Chiefs rivalry is a National Football League rivalry between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs.
The series originated during the American Football League’s inaugural season in 1960, as both the Chiefs, then known as the Dallas Texans, and Bills were charter teams in the league. Because they play in different intraconference divisions, the Bills in the AFC East and the Chiefs in AFC West, they do not play each other every year. Instead, based on the NFL’s scheduling formula, the two teams play each other at least once every three seasons and at least once every six seasons at each team’s home stadium when their divisions are paired up, sometimes more often if the two teams meet in the playoffs or they finish in the same place in their respective divisions.
Nonetheless, the Bills and Chiefs have had many notable moments in NFL postseason history, most notably the 1966 AFL Championship Game, as well as the 2021 AFC Divisional playoff game, which is often nicknamed 13 Seconds.[6][7]
Since 2020, the rivalry has redeveloped as both teams consistently contended for the AFC title. A rivalry has also developed between Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.[8][9]
As of January 2024, Buffalo leads the series 29–25–1, which has included six playoff meetings, three of which were AFL/AFC championship games.[10]
