Regular season games don’t get much bigger than this.

Sunday night, in primetime, with all football fans locked in, the Buffalo Bills will travel to Arrowhead Stadium to battle the Kansas City Chiefs.

It’s a game that is oozing with intrigue, and even though we’re just in Week 5, carries massive playoff implications.

In Buffalo’s first trip to Kansas City since losing in the AFC Championship Game, the team has a chance to take a two-game lead over the Chiefs in the conference standings while also earning the tie-breaker. It also represents an opportunity to prove that its defense, which has already pitched two shutouts this season, can stifle arguably the best offense in the NFL.

With so many stars on either side of the field, the individual matchups that’ll decide the game will center around some familiar faces.
