‘And while Bass’ kick did all but officially seal the victory for the Chiefs, who’ll remarkably head to their sixth-consecutive AFC Championship Game, Buffalo’s banged-up defense simply couldn’t get Kansas City into 2nd-and-long and 3rd-and-long scenarios. The Chiefs ran 62 offensive plays in the victory and only got to third down five times. Incredible.’

The Bills Are Cursed: That’s the Only Explanation for Wide Right, the Sequel
‘This is when we really start using words such as “cursed.” This is when we dig up land-surveying results and ensure that the stadium is not built atop some ancient order of ghouls whose sole purpose is torturing its frozen occupants. This is when we search for explanations to losses not born of our world. This is when we bring in the priest, bust out the sage, mount the flamethrower … anything.’
Bills wide right again: Tyler Bass’ missed field goal vs. Chiefs joins Scott Norwood in Buffalo playoff lore
‘Tyler Bass knows that all too well. The game was put on his foot from 44 yards out. The Bills needed a field goal to tie up the contest with the playoff rival Chiefs, down 27-24 with only 1:47 left to play. Booting into the wind, the kick got caught up in the wind as soon as it got up in the air and hooked right immediately, sailing well past right of the mark.’

What’s next for Bills after playoff loss to Chiefs? 5 key questions about Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs & more
‘Unfortunately, despite the re-emphasis on the running game and short-to-intermediate passing game to youngsters Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir, Allen got too aggressive at the end of the Chiefs game at the worst time. Given Stefon Diggs’ decline and Gabe Davis’ absence, it didn’t make sense for Allen to be unleashed as a deep passer again. For all of Brady’s success, he didn’t quite rein in Allen enough at the most important time. Overall, the Bills should be happy with Brady and want to promote him to full-time, but Allen needs to adjust more, too.’
McDermott: “I’m confident in this team”
‘“I’m confident in this team. I’m confident in Josh. You know, we have to continue to grow, and I think you want to get to a game like this as healthy as you possibly can. That’s not the reason why we lost, however. Again, we just didn’t do enough defensively.”’
