Kansas City Chiefs turn to ground game in win, RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushes for 161 vs. Buffalo Bills

To get the Kansas City Chiefs back in the win column after their first defeat in 11 months, coach Andy Reid turned his playbook upside down in Monday night's game against the Buffalo Bills.

For only the second time in Patrick Mahomes' 37 career starts, the Chiefs ran the ball more than they passed it. They were rewarded for the change with a 26-17 victory.

The Chiefs rushed for 245 yards, their most since 2012. Rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire rushed for 161.

Mahomes was still efficient, going 21-of-26 with two first-half touchdown passes to Travis Kelce.
