The Kansas City Chiefs saw their unblemished record go up in smoke on Nov. 17 courtesy of the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs went into Highmark Stadium hoping to go 10-0, but as it turns out, Josh Allen and Co. had other plans.
It was Allen who led the way for Buffalo in their hard-fought 30-21 victory. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback went 27-of-40 with his passes for 262 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Allen also had 12 carries for an additional 55 yards and a TD.
Allen's rushing touchdown turned out to be the biggest play of the game. With the Bills up by two points and just two and a half minutes remaining in the contest, head coach Sean McDermott decided to go for it at 4th and 2 in Chiefs territory.
Allen rushed 26 yards to score one in one of the most incredible plays of the season thus far, resulting in the Bills taking a 30-21 lead after the extra point.

During a recent episode of the "New Heights" podcast, Chiefs star Travis Kelce got a chance to discuss the game-turning moment that ultimately led to the two-time defending champions' first loss of the season.
According to Travis Kelce's brother Jason Kelce, not too many folks thought that the ball would end up in Allen's hands at that point in the game.
"The last thing I think anybody thought was that Josh Allen was going to scramble and score a touchdown on the play," Jason Kelce said.
Travis Kelce refuted his brother's take as the Chiefs tight end explained why he knew it was coming.
"I mean, if you give me A, B, or C, I'm saying Josh Allen's doing something with his feet," Travis Kelce said.
"Yeah, that's fair," Jason Kelce responded.
"It's Josh Allen," Travis Kelce continued. "I mean, they run quarterback power. They were like, ‘Yeah, let's put it in Superman's hands,' you know?"

That decision from the Bills turned out to be the right one as Allen proved to be the hero of the day.
The silver lining for the Chiefs is that they have now moved on from that deflating loss. They got back to winning ways on Sunday via a 30-27 win against the Carolina Panthers.
Travis Kelce did his part in the victory, logging six receptions for 62 yards as the Chiefs improved to 10-1 on the season.
