Buffalo’s Davis enters NFL playoff record book
‘Buffalo wide receiver Gabriel Davis wrote his name in the NFL playoff record book, becoming the first player ever to score four receiving touchdowns in a game. Davis scored on passes of 18, 75, 27 and 19 yards and finished with eight receptions for 201 yards. Buffalo needed them as the other wideouts didn’t produce much. Stefon Diggs was invisible (3 catches for 7 yards), Cole Beasley had 6-for-60 and Emmanuel Sanders 1-for-10.’
Sean McDermott doesn’t want to talk about what happened in final 13 seconds vs. Chiefs
‘“We can just execute better and that starts with me and goes all the way down,” McDermott said. “I don’t want to get into specifics right now. I’m really proud of the guys and their effort. Obviously [the Chiefs] made a couple plays down the stretch. So I’ll just leave it at that right now.”’
Tails sometimes fails: Bills’ Josh Allen had been perfect calling coin toss before Sunday’s game vs. Chiefs

Josh Allen’s heroics fall short as Bills defense gets embarrassed by Chiefs in 42-36 overtime loss (Report card)

Watch Stefon Diggs tackle a fan who got onto the field during Bills vs Chiefs game (video)

Former Bills fan favorite, current Cardinals DT, tailgating in support of Buffalo in KC

Bills superfan’s generosity knows no limits; buys 6 tickets, flies fan in for Chiefs game

Bills fans take over KC jukeboxes, Chiefs fans forced to sit through ‘Shout’ song on repeat

Wow! Mahomes-Allen duel one for the ages as Chiefs edge Bills in OT
‘In one of the most thrilling games in NFL playoff history — and in perhaps the most clutch example of back-and-forth, elite-level QB one-upmanship in any league game, ever — Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs knocked off Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in overtime, 42-36 on Sunday.’
Josh Allen was heroic in heartbreaking loss, but his Bills just aren’t quite ready to beat the Chiefs
‘Kansas City is a hurdle the Bills just can’t get over. Not yet, anyway. This game was much closer than last year’s one-sided defeat, but that almost makes it more painful for the loyal fans in western New York.’
