Members of the legendary undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins celebrated in style on Sunday night, popping champagne after the Kansas City Chiefs fell 30-21 to the Buffalo Bills. The Chiefs entered the matchup with a flawless 9-0 record but hit a roadblock against the Bills, who leaned on a standout performance from quarterback Josh Allen to secure the victory. Kansas City kept it close until late in the fourth quarter when Allen sealed the deal with a 26-yard touchdown run that served as the dagger.

com/Brsy2cw7eo Csonka spoke about the Chiefs before the matchup, citing some similarities between Kansas City and his legendary Dolphins team. "Someone steps up and does more than what they're being called on to do," Csonka told CBS Sports . "And that was a characteristic of the '72 Dolphins.
I see similarities in Kansas City. They're intriguing to watch. Fundamentally, they don't mess up that much at all.
In crisis situations, just like the game ended last week, with a blocked kick at the end of the game, made the difference. That's reminiscent." The Chiefs will look to get back on track against the Carolina Panthers next week.
