Chris Simms is excited about this clash between two of the best quarterbacks in the league and thinks the Bills' defense has what it takes to win. Mike Florio agrees, having the Bills as the superior team to the Chiefs.

The Chiefs placed defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton on season-ending injured reserve Saturday. Wharton tore an ACL in Week 5 against the Raiders.

Cornerback Dicaprio Bootle will take Wharton’s spot on the 53-player roster.

Bootle was elevated from the practice squad twice this season and has one tackle on special teams.

The Chiefs did not elevate kicker Matthew Wright from the practice squad with Harrison Butker set to return to the lineup. Safety Justin Reid will go into the game as the backup kicker to Butker.

Safety Zayne Anderson and linebacker Cole Christiansen were the two players the team elevated from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Bills. Neither has not played in a game yet this season.
