The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the 2024 season on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, 30-21.
The Chiefs, now 9-1, are just 0.5 games ahead of Buffalo for the top seed in the AFC with seven games remaining in their season. However, despite the loss, many of the players don't seem to be concerned.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled in the loss, finishing with 198 passing yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. After the game, Mahomes paid respect to Buffalo.
"You hope you have the same result to end it, I'll say that. But at the end of the day, that's a really good football team. It's going to take your best football to beat great football teams, and we didn't play our best football today and they went out and beat us. That's just how it rolls in the NFL. All the respect to them. That's going to be a good football team that we'll probably see again."
Tight end Noah Gray, who had a touchdown in the loss, was more focused on looking ahead.
"I don't think we ever put too much stress on that whole aspect," Gray said. "We just take it game by game. We're just going to come back out to practice, be the best possible team that we can in practice, learn from it, look at the film and move forward, listen to our coaches, play as a team and ultimately be better for it down the road."
