The Chiefs vs Bills game is scheduled to start 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT today (Monday, Oct. 19) on Fox, NFL Network and Amazon.
It's the second to last game of week 6 of the NFL 2020-21 season.
The Chiefs vs Bills live stream looks like it's worth stopping work early for (don't tell your boss I said so). Today's rare Monday Afternoon Football matchup finds the defending Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, at a pretty good point in its season — with a 4-1 record — undefeated until a surprise 40-32 defeat by the Las Vegas Raiders last week.
The Buffalo Bills also come to this NFL live stream with a 4-1 record, having also stumbled last week, in a stinging 42-16 loss to 42-16 defeat to the Tennessee Titans. The Bills can take some solace in the fact that the Chiefs also lost to the Titans, when the two teams last played in 2019.

The Bills-Titans game, originally scheduled for Sunday, was moved to Tuesday due to COVID infections on the Tennessee side. That rescheduling then pushed the Chiefs vs Bills game from Thursday to the early slot on Monday. (Amazon, which carries Thursday Night Football will also stream the rescheduled game.)
The two teams are especially well matched in quarterbacking skills. The Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Bills' Josh Allen have both been high scorers, with Mahomes throwing in 13 touchdowns so far this season, vs. 14 for Allen. (Mahomes and Allen rank fourth and third for passing yards.) And they don't slip up much. Mahomes has thrown only one interception (against Las Vegas), while Allen has just three (two against Tennessee). It's hotly debated which QB has the most passing muscle. The two had planned to do a throw-off competition early in the year before the COVID shutdowns, and the idea is still floating about. "We'll figure out a way where we can do this for sure," Allen told Buffalobills.com.
Mahomes main receivers have been tight end Travis Kelce (32 catches and 3 touchdowns) and wide receiver Tyreek Hill (35 catches and 4 TDs). Wide receiver Stefon Diggs leads the Bills with 36 receptions, 509 yards and two touchdowns.
Expect a lopsided matchup on defense, where the Bills are ranked just 20th. They are especially weak on pass defense, ranking 27th with 280.3 yards allowed. In rush defense, their ranking goes up to eighth, allowing 101 yards. So Chiefs lead rusher, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire,` may have a harder time than his catching colleagues.
While there have been the inevitable injuries on both sides, neither team has been hit especially hard—as have, for instance the poor 49ers. So for the most part, Monday is an opportunity for each team to bring its best game.
