Observations: Defensive breakdowns ruin Josh Allen’s heroics, lead to one of most painful losses in Bills history
‘It’s understandable that McDermott wasn’t going to single anyone out, but let’s call this what it was: An absolute, inexcusable failure from a defense that led the NFL in fewest yards and points allowed in the regular season. Mahomes or not, the end of the game can’t happen in that fashion.’

Quarter by quarter: Bills, Chiefs ride roller coaster in AFC divisional playoff thriller
‘A roller coaster: Next, the Bills got the ball back with 1:02 left and all three timeouts. Fittingly, Allen threw to Davis for the pair’s fourth touchdown of the night. But there was too much time after that, and the Chiefs got a field goal to tie it and force overtime.’
Report Card: Coaching decisions, defensive woes doom Bills, leading to predictable grades
‘Everyone knew when Tre’Davious White got hurt Thanksgiving night that it spelled trouble for the Bills’ defense. That bill came due Sunday, as Dane Jackson had a rough outing. Jackson was called for a killer defensive holding in the second quarter on a third-and-goal play from the Bills’ 11-yard line. Three plays later, the Chiefs were in the end zone. The legitimacy of that flag can be debated, but Jackson clearly grabbed Tyreek Hill’s jersey, so there shouldn’t be such outrage the penalty was called – it was quite easy to see. It’s impossible to understand what Levi Wallace was thinking on the catch that allowed the Chiefs to get into field goal range at the end of regulation. There is no receiver on his side, and he simply watches as tight end Travis Kelce runs straight up the seam. Mahomes threw the ball 44 times and the Bills didn’t have a single pass defensed. That’s remarkable.’

‘It was bad enough that the Bills missed tackles all over the field all night long, particularly on Tyreek Hill’s 64-yard TD that appeared to give the Chiefs the victory with 1:02 to play in regulation. But to fail the way it did in such spectacular fashion on the last possession of regulation was next-level horrendous.’
Bills report card: Josh Allen’s legendary effort wasted by defensive debacle against Chiefs
‘The two best teams left in the postseason at 6:40 Sunday night were the Bills and Chiefs, and only the Chiefs moved on. What a dreadful shame to lose in such an inexplicable, downright unbelievable way, a loss that just further drives that dagger deeper into the hearts of a fan base that somehow hasn’t completely collapsed under the weight of perpetual disappointment.’
