Offensive Notes:
With injuries to Jeff Allen (ankle), Eric Fisher (neck) and Mitch Morse (concussion), the offensive line snap percentages were vastly different than usual. The Chiefs used each of their offensive linemen by the game's end.

Defensive Notes:
Six Chiefs were on the field for every defensive snap yesterday (72)—safety Eric Berry, linebacker Tamba Hali, LB Derrick Johnson, S Ron Parker, cornerback Marcus Peters and CB Sean Smith.
Linebacker Justin Houston left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury. In his place, LB Frank Zombo played in 59 snaps (82 percent). Tamba Hali played in every snap for the Chiefs defense for only the second time this season (Minnesota).
LB Dezman Moses had only 1 defensive snap (1 percent) for the Chiefs, but during it, he made what could be regarded as the biggest play of the game. Moses tackled Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor just before the first-down marker on fourth down late in the fourth quarter, allowing the Chiefs to run out the clock for the win.
