The Kansas City Chiefs will make their first visit to the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium as part of the NFL’s Thanksgiving slate of games. The highly anticipated matchup is scheduled for Thursday night in Week 12, with kickoff set for late November.
According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, the game will take place at the newly opened Highmark Stadium in Buffalo. The primetime contest will be broadcast nationally on NBC.
This game marks another chapter in the Chiefs-Bills rivalry, which has intensified in recent years. Since the start of the 2020 season, the two teams have faced each other at least once per season. In regular season play, the Bills hold a 5-1 advantage over the Chiefs. However, Kansas City remains unbeaten in their playoff meetings, with a 4-0 record in postseason clashes.
With the game set for late November, concerns about Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ recovery from a torn ACL should be alleviated. While other potential injuries could impact roster availability, both teams will aim to field their strongest possible lineups for this primetime showdown.
The Chiefs and Bills, led by Mahomes and Bills quarterback Josh Allen, have developed one of the NFL’s most compelling rivalries. This Thanksgiving night game at Highmark Stadium adds another high-stakes matchup to their storied history.
