Mon Nov 18 00:36:33 UTC 2024: ## Bills Edge Chiefs in Wild First Half, 16-14
**Kansas City, MO** – The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs traded blows in a thrilling first half, with the Bills emerging with a narrow 16-14 lead at the break. The half featured four lead changes and a high-octane offensive display from both teams.
Buffalo’s running back, James Cook, powered the Bills’ attack with two rushing touchdowns, one from 3 yards and another from 6. However, kicker Tyler Bass missed an extra point, leaving the Bills with just 12 points from those scores. Bass did redeem himself with a 33-yard field goal as time expired in the half, securing the lead.
Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected with Xavier Worthy for a 10-yard touchdown pass and Noah Gray for a 2-yard score. Rookie kicker Spencer Shrader, filling in for the injured Harrison Butker, was perfect on both extra point attempts.
Despite outgaining the Chiefs in total yards (217 to 125) and scoring on three of their five possessions, the Bills weren’t without their struggles. A crucial fourth-down decision saw them opt to punt, and an interception thrown by quarterback Josh Allen after reaching the Kansas City 34-yard line thwarted a potential scoring drive.
Allen finished the half 15-of-23 for 167 yards, with Amari Cooper leading the receiving corps with two catches for 55 yards. Mahomes, meanwhile, was 10-of-16 for 98 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Worthy impressed with four receptions for 61 yards. The second half promises to be just as exciting as this back-and-forth first half battle.
