The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs will once again get the opportunity to face off against a team that enters the match up with a back up quarterback. There was plenty of concern about the health of Bills starting quarterback Thad Lewis, and now reports have surfaced that Lewis will not start the game.

In fact, he is doubtful and will unlikely even be the back up. Those duties will go to journeyman back up Matt Flynn.

From NFL insider Jason La Canfora:

Jeff Tuel will start at QB tomorrow for the Bills against the Chiefs. Matt Flynn is the No. 2. Thad Lewis is doubtful

Tuel has struggled during his time on the field, so it won’t be easy for the Bills to pull off the upset.

For the Chiefs defense, they will get the opportunity to aggressively attack yet another unprepared quarterback that simply doesn’t have the skill set to handle the pressure and attack the defense in a way that would take advantage of the blitzes.

It could be a long day for the Bills offense.
