‘For a moment though, it was Déjà vu all over again: the Chiefs driving down, threatening to score and win the game. And they did score — only it didn’t count. A wild play unfolded in which Mahomes found Travis Kelce at the Buffalo 30-yard line and Kelce threw the ball back and across the field to Kadarius Toney who streaked in for a go-ahead TD.

Bills Mailbag: Has Sean McDermott lost the Bills’ locker room?
‘I don’t believe that has happened yet, but McDermott does run that risk if the season gets away from him and the team misses the playoffs.

If things go bad down the stretch and the losses start to get uglier, McDermott does run the risk of losing the room.’
