KC played without Isiah Pacheco and Josh Simmons.

Mahomes targeted Kelce for a TD before halftime.

As Kelce jumped for the ball, Bills safety Cole Bishop drilled him in the chest mid-air.

[{"selector":"#anim-82037a61-2350-4585-ab01-012b472e8c21","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aececcd4-663c-4df1-994f-2ace51860928","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 121.02675%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

No flag was thrown, even though Kelce looked like a defenseless player on the hit.

[{"selector":"#anim-1c76bb69-c970-41b2-9931-586ace33c4ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a94e931e-270d-4231-99e5-dd621e97fed1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 130.27631%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kelce left the field after the collision but returned in the second half.

[{"selector":"#anim-02f3d0a1-f0ef-425b-b674-ff026ab8d44b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6bf49019-42cb-4ce6-872f-596906ffd145","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 133.26873%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The Chiefs settled for a field goal on that drive, trimming Buffalo’s lead.

[{"selector":"#anim-b4778551-491d-42c4-8286-bc9a100ee139","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2b24e29-f78c-4a25-a318-04225d25b08a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 143.95785%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The NFL now must decide if Bishop will be fined, with first-offense penalties around $17K.

[{"selector":"#anim-e8d7aa0c-7c02-4411-a6a4-7ea5b28ef327","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-501d3d2e-1bce-4579-a0ea-9f303837541e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 123.38501%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With a bye coming, KC awaits the league’s decision.
