Chiefs vs. Bills score, results: Clyde Edwards-Helaire runs over Buffalo defense in Kansas City win image

A lot of people probably were expecting the Chiefs to dominate their Monday evening matchup with the Bills through the air. Instead, Kansas City pounded its way to a 26-17 win.

Kansas City ran the ball 46 times for 245 yards, the most rushing attempts by the Chiefs in Andy Reid's eight seasons as Kansas City head coach. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was the main man, racking up 26 carries for 161 yards (6.2 yards per carry). Backup running back Darrel Williams added six carries for 26 yards and a touchdown. His 13-yard score on fourth down late in the third quarter gave Kansas City a 20-10 lead.

The Chiefs used their next two possessions to run out the clock. They kicked a pair of field goals to keep Buffalo at bay.

"I want to throw it deep every time . . . But if teams are going to play us like this, we [have] got to show that we can run the football," said Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who didn't throw as much as he typically does but was still effective, completing 21 of 26 passes (80.8 percent) for 225 yards and two touchdowns. He also had 10 carries for 36 yards.

Mahomes' counterpart, Josh Allen, was much less effective, completing 14 of 27 passes (51.9 percent) for 122 yards, two TDs and a late interception with the Bills chasing the game trailing by nine. Allen had his moments, but ultimately he couldn't find the same consistency as Mahomes as he struggled with accuracy in rainy conditions. Buffalo couldn't get much going on the ground either, gaining just 84 yards on 23 carries.
