Here are a few key players to watch when the Chiefs visit the Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs will take the field on Monday for an important AFC showdown with the Buffalo Bills. The game that was originally scheduled for Thursday night was rescheduled after the Bills game with the Tennessee Titans was pushed back last week. Now these one loss teams will face off in an early Monday night game with their status as a couple of the best teams in the AFC hanging in the balance.

The loser of this game will find themselves with back to back loses and two games behind the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans for the coveted top spot in the AFC.

The Chiefs are coming off an incredibly disappointing game against the Las Vegas Raiders where their defense was flat out bad and Patrick Mahomes was outplayed by Derek Carr. The Bills were embarrassed on Tuesday night against the Titans in a game that was supposed to be a brawl between undefeated teams. So both teams will be looking to get their winning ways back on track tonight and owning a potential head-to-head tie-breaker over the other team is just an added bonus at this early point in the season.

While both teams will need a complete team effort to prevent a two game losing streak, there are some key players for both teams that will make or break this game. I truly believe that how these players perform tonight will determine which team comes out on top. Some of them may be more obvious than others, but here’s your list of players to keep an eye on tonight, starting with the most obvious.
