Josh Allen produced another sensational display in another Buffalo Bills epic on Sunday, while the Kansas City Chiefs’ latest victory may have come at a huge cost.
The defending champions enjoyed their biggest win of the season but saw star quarterback Patrick Mahomes limp out of the game with a worrying ankle injury.
Buffalo have no such worries over their own superstar Allen, who again showed why he is the Most Valuable Player favourite as the Bills ended the Detroit Lions’ 11-game winning run in another high-scoring thriller.
The Pittsburgh Steelers lost at the Philadelphia Eagles but still secured their spot in the play-offs, as did the Houston Texans, while the Minnesota Vikings joined them without even playing.

Just a week after losing 44-42 at the Rams, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills came out on top this time in another blockbuster – edging the Lions 48-42 in Detroit.
Billed as a potential Super Bowl preview, the top two scorers in the NFL put on a show worthy of the big game, with their two banged-up defences unable to shackle Allen or Lions quarterback Jared Goff.
Goff threw five touchdowns but was always playing from behind after Allen’s two quick rushing scores early on – as the Bills equalled an NFL record with eight straight games scoring 30 points or more.
They are also just the second team to score and concede 40 points in back-to-back games.
If this fixture is repeated in the Super Bowl it would be some spectacle, but both sides need to solve some defensive issues if they are to make it to New Orleans in February.
