The Kansas City Chiefs are set to host the Buffalo Bills in a pivotal Week 14 game that could have huge implications for both teams heading into the home stretch of the 2023 season.

Their viability as playoff contenders will be put to the test against Buffalo, and if they are handed a loss at home after a pitiful showing against the Green Bay Packers in Week 13, it may be an indication that Kansas City doesn’t have the juice to win crucial elimination games when it matters most.
