Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated 56m1 min read

What happened: The New York Times' Sando examines in his Pick Six column whether an AFC arms race is next, focusing on what the Chiefs and Bills need at the Nov. 10 trade deadline.

Why it matters: Buffalo beat Baltimore 36-10 on Sunday to hold the AFC's top seed. Kansas City lost 28-24 at Denver and sits fifth, so the gap between the two contenders is widening ahead of the deadline.

By the numbers: Bills: 6-1, three straight wins, No. 1 seed. Chiefs: 5-2, two straight losses, No. 5 seed. Buffalo beat Baltimore 36-10 on Nov. 1; Kansas City fell 28-24 at Denver the same day.

What to watch: Both clubs have until Nov. 10 to add talent before the trade deadline passes.
