The 2020 Buffalo Bills regular season slate will include four games on primetime. Among those games to be played under the prime-time lights, their meeting against the Kansas City Chiefs, was ranked as one of the best for fans to check out next season.
NFL.com ranked the defending champion’s visit to Orchard Park as the league’s third-best game on primetime in 2020:
Patty Mahomes against Sean McDermott’s defense in front of the amazing and passionate fans in lovely Western New York? Buckle up, buttercup! The scene in Buffalo is going to be wild, with the defending champs coming to town with the sun down and the juices flowing for Bills Mafia. I’m so excited I might jump through a table! This could be a playoff preview, too. I anticipate the Chiefs will win their fifth straight AFC West title. And yes, I expect the Bills to take the AFC East for the first time since 1995.
Any time Mahomes is on in prime time — with the electric Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce by his side — the viewing offers sizzle. Can’t wait to see him go against a Bills defense that ranked second in points allowed and third in total D last season. But don’t discount the undercard of Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs and Buffalo’s revamped passing attack against Tyrann Mathieu, Frank Clark, Chris Jones and the rest of K.C.’s underrated championship defense.
Of all Buffalo’s prime-time games, this one could be the toughet. But, the Bills do also play the 49ers, on the road, on primetime. That’ll be a very tough meeting as well.
But the Bills might have a bit of an edge on KC. During Thursday Night Football, the road team is usually at a disadvantage. Having to travel on a short week usually has bad side effects. But then again, the Chiefs are a very good team, so regardless, if the Bills do top the champs, it’ll be a message sent across the league.
In terms of the rest of NFL.com’s list, the only two games listed above the Bills-Chiefs meeting are the Saints at the Bucs in Week 9 on Sunday Night Football, while another Chiefs’ game, on the road against the Ravens on Monday Night Football in Week 3, is picked as the league’s best.
