Josh Allen guides Buffalo Bills to NFL victory over Kansas City Chiefs

Allen connected on 15 of 26 passes in Sunday's game

The Buffalo Bills gained revenge for defeat in last year's AFC championship game with a 38-20 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The game was delayed for over an hour because of half-time thunderstorms and the rain persisted in the second half.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the key figure for his side.

The 25-year-old outshone his Chiefs rival Patrick Mahomes with 315 yards and three touchdown passes and also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown as Mahomes had one of his worst NFL performances.

He threw two interceptions, with the second - off the hands of Tyreek Hill - returned 26 yards for a third-quarter touchdown that put the Bills 31-13 ahead.

He also gave up a fumble late in the fourth quarter that extinguished all hopes of an unlikely Chiefs comeback.
