Only one modern American football team will go down in history as the only undefeated team in the NFL regular season. The 2007 New England Patriots finished the season with a 16-0 record after a season in which Tom Brady (50 touchdown passes) and Randy Moss (23 converted touchdowns) broke league records. The Kansas City Chiefs were trying to equal it after nine unbeaten games, but Highmark Stadium, on the outskirts of New York, was the grave of their streak.

The Chiefs lost to the Buffalo Bills (30-21), their great conference rival. The first game they had lost since Christmas last year, with their third championship ring and second in a row along the way. They seemed unbeatable until the team that complicated them in their last three Playoff appearances left them on the road.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the architect of the defeat. The Buffalo quarterback has been competing for the MVP for several years and with his team’s ninth (although with two losses) victories, he is a firm contender. The key was a 4th & 2 with two minutes remaining, with 21-23 favorable on the scoreboard. Allen didn’t find a route throwing, but the waters opened and he was able to convert the winning touchdown.

Mahomes had no answer and gave up the last possession when he was intercepted. His streak had fallen. “Being unbeaten was cool. But it’s not the goal,” he explained. “They are a good team, but there is nothing to think about. We can play better, so we will work again to use this as a spark to be a better football team in the end,” he added.

Pittsburgh and Detroit rise whole

In addition to the big game in week 11 of the competition, the NFL left other relevant results such as the victory of the Pittsburgh Steelers over Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens (18-16) after a good defensive execution, or the beating of the alternative, according to say the experts, to the Chiefs, the Detroit Lions. They overcame the Jacksonville Jaguars (52-6) and lead the National Conference with nine wins and one loss.
