Week 8 of NFL action closes out tonight with a Monday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders. Buffalo Bills fans are always interested in Chiefs games, mostly for the opportunity to root against their winning ways.
It’s schadenfreude of the finest kind for Bills Mafia, and a loss tonight would set the Chiefs back to .500 with a 4-4 record. Meanwhile, the Commanders are looking for a W that would improve their 3-4 record to a .500 4-4 on the season.
Bills fans should
want the Chiefs to lose this evening, even if that makes for a more hungry and potentially dangerous KC team in Week 9. Why? If you read our Bills Week 8 Rooting Interests article, you’d remember that the move is always to see the Chiefs pushed down, and in this case further into a hole too deep to dig out of before the playoffs.
Is it likely Kansas City loses tonight? We know better, but I’m saying there is a chance. Yes, quarterback Jayden Daniels is injured and won’t play, but backup quarterback Marcus Mariota can get it done. Right? Maybe. Former Bills edge rusher Von Miller plays for the Commanders now, and he has four sacks with seven quarterback hits through seven games. Washington likes to blitz, which has helped Miller’s numbers, but that also means life could be made miserable for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Does The Closer have what it takes to bring down Mahomes en route to victory on Monday Night Football? We’ll find out in a few hours. Here’s your open thread for Week 8 of Monday Night Football with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman set to call the game from your television. As always, be kind to one another — and in all things… Go Bills!
