"He's a Monster" – Andy Reid Admits He Couldn't Stop Bills' TE After Highmark Loss

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — November 2, 2025

A Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium turned into a stage for one man, the blue-and-red warrior who made the Chiefs' defense crumble and earned even his rival's respect.

Orchard Park, New York. It's rare for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid to praise an opposing player, especially after a loss on the road. But following Kansas City's shocking 21-28 defeat to the Buffalo Bills in the 4:25 PM ET kickoff on November 2, 2025, Reid couldn't hold back his admiration, even through disappointment.

"I'm very upset we lost," Reid admitted after the game.

"But to be honest, the Bills have a monster at tight end. He's not just talented, he's smart, relentless, and nearly impossible to stop. We prepared for him all week, but we still couldn't contain him."

A Perfect Performance Under the Afternoon Highmark Sun

Even in defeat, Dalton Kincaid played like a man possessed.

The 25-year-old tight end, number 86, caught 6 passes on 6 targets (100% catch rate) for 101 yards and a touchdown, including a powerful 23-yard score on the opening drive after faking a route over the middle before cutting outside to break LB Drue Tranquill's ankles in the first quarter, finishing as Buffalo's leading receiver against one of the league's toughest defenses.

Completing 100% of his targets, Kincaid constantly broke coverage and moved the chains with 3 receiving first downs and zero mistakes throughout 60 minutes of play. On another play, he snuck behind Tranquill and DB Nohl Williams on a crossing route, rumbling all the way down to the Chiefs' 8 for a 47-yard gain, setting up Ty Johnson's TD.

According to Pro Football Focus, Dalton Kincaid earned an 82.3 grade, the highest on the Bills roster in Week 9. ESPN called him "the X-factor in Buffalo's statement win," while NFL.com wrote:

"Kincaid defines precision. 101 yards with 100% catch rate against this Chiefs defense doesn't happen by accident."

Bills Mafia Embodied in Every Route

After the game, Kincaid didn't boast; he simply said one sentence that defined his mentality:

"If you're not ready to fight until the last minute, you don't deserve to wear this jersey."

Those words echoed through the Bills locker room, because everyone knows they have a quiet leader, a tight end who doesn't talk much but lets his play do the talking.

• Receptions: 27 catches, 4 TDs

In a season where the Buffalo Bills are cementing their AFC elite status at 6-2 with five consecutive wins over the Chiefs in regular season play, Dalton Kincaid has become a symbol of precision, toughness, and warrior heart.

And for Andy Reid and the Chiefs (5-4), this Sunday afternoon loss serves as a reminder that sometimes, no game plan can stop a true "monster."

💙❤️ "He made us pay for every mistake," Reid concluded. "And honestly, I think the entire NFL should start paying attention to him."
