Week 11 Wrap: Josh Allen’s heroics deliver the W — and fantasy points, too

Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen’s heroic fourth-quarter touchdown run on fourth down helped the Bills secure a huge win over the Chiefs. Allen easily led the Bills in rushing yards (55), and Buffalo became the first team to score more than 28 points against Kansas City in 30 games. Allen has just one TD pass over the last two games, but he’s made up for it with his legs (105 rushing yards, two scores). Allen made a couple of nice connections with Amari Cooper too, and he’ll enter Buffalo’s bye as the league’s co-MVP favorite with Lamar Jackson.

Patrick Mahomes was picked off on his first pass attempt, and he now has a 0:5 TD:INT ratio in first quarters this season. Mahomes did toss three touchdowns, but he didn’t run and managed just 5.9 YPA. He continues to rarely throw downfield. Kareem Hunt was stuffed at the goal line and somehow saw zero targets against a Bills’ defense that entered allowing the most targets, catches and receiving yards to running backs. He saw 10 targets last week. Hunt will become a bench stash if/when Isiah Pacheco returns healthy.

Xavier Worthy had 61 yards and a touchdown at the beginning of the second quarter but wasn’t heard from afterward. Still, it was an encouraging performance from the rookie, who led Kansas City with five targets. Travis Kelce had one target at halftime and finished with fewer than 10 yards after averaging 13.3 targets, 10.7 catches and 84.7 receiving yards over his previous three games. It was a disappointing offensive performance by the Chiefs, and the NFL lost its remaining undefeated team.

• James Cook scored two first-half touchdowns but saw just two second-half carries, as Kansas City continued to shut down RBs.

• The Bills remain the only team without a TD pass thrown 20+ yards downfield this season.

• Mahomes was 11-3 straight up and 12-1-1 against the spread as an underdog.
