The Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills are probably the biggest rivals in the AFC conference right now. And their rivalry is only set to grow bigger. With the Bills beating the Chiefs in a game widely considered as the ‘AFC Championship preview’. Both teams are poised to deliver an exciting season for the fans. Added to that, long-time friends and now rival QBs Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes have not set the stage to match some of the biggest QB rivalries in football. But Mahomes thinks there’s a lot of time left for that to happen.

Speaking on the radio show ‘The Drive’, the host asks Mahomes if his rivalry with Allen has reached the levels of the one between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Mahomes, in his usual humble self, says, “We’re two guys that love to compete. We love to go out there and find a way to will our team to win, but (Tom) Brady and (Peyton) Manning, we still got a long way to go.”
