After winning 15 straight dating back to last season, the Kansas City Chiefs finally lost in the biggest game of the weekend — a 30-21 setback on the road to the Buffalo Bills in what could have been a preview of the AFC title game.

Herbert has not thrown an interception in a franchise-record 246 passing attempts, eclipsing his previous mark of 233 attempts from Dec. 26, 2022, to Oct. 1, 2023.
The victory gives Los Angeles a three-game winning streak and puts them in the…
