The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills are playing an unexpected barnburner on Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium. Both teams are known for having terrific defenses, but that has gone by the wayside. In the second quarter trailing 16-7, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith went for broke and found star receiver Jeremy Maclin.

Smith never throws the ball deep, but he went for it all on this 41-yard hookup to Maclin. The Chiefs and Bills are both 5-5 and desperately trying to win this Week 12 matchup, which will give one team a major advantage in the wild card race. Kansas City is currently sitting in the sixth and final playoff spot in the AFC playoff picture, while Buffalo is eighth behind the Houston Texans.
The Bills are getting an absolutely massive game from Sammy Watkins, who has torched the Chiefs secondary for six catches and 158 yards with two touchdowns. Watkins has been very vocal throughout the season about needing to get more targets, and he is making the most of them on Sunday.
Maclin has churned out four catches on six targets with 99 yards.
