The most overlooked problem of 2020
The first time the Bills and Chiefs faced off in Week 6… there was an overlooked issue on Buffalo’s defense. In fact, it was a problem most did not consider throughout the entire season, perhaps for the same reason it was Week 6.
The Bills defense was gashed on the run Bills-Chiefs Round 1 for 245 total yards on the ground. That happened a lot, specifically early in the regulat season, too. Many forget that tight end Travis Kelce did have two touchdowns in that first outing. In Round 2, Kelce had an even bigger game.
Overall, Kelce had a massive 13 catches for 118 yards. He also scored twice once again. A chunk of Kelce’s work wasn’t very far from the line of scrimmage either as Kelce was just finding space underneath the Bills’ coverage and kept adding yards after the catch. His long grab of the game was only 17 yards, which paled in comparison to other chunks of yards Kansas City was ripping off.
Kelce’s efforts against Buffalo wasn’t exactly a flash in the pan. We all overlooked this. In 2020, no team allowed more tight end catches (92) than the Bills.
