We know one change the Chiefs will be making for their “Sunday Night Football” game against the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead Stadium.

Instead of wearing their usual home uniform combination of red jerseys and white pants, the Chiefs will don red pants for the prime-time matchup.

The Chiefs tweeted a preview of the look:

Since 2013, the Chiefs have worn the all-red uniform combo at least once in a season, often in home “Sunday Night Football” games. Here is how they have fared in all-red, according to the Gridiron Uniform Database.
