The Buffalo Bills may have taken to heart an important lesson about dealing with the Kansas City Chiefs, at least based on their Week 11 game.
The Bills faced a key moment with about 2:30 remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. The team held a 23-21 lead while sitting firmly in field goal range on 4th-and-2, so they could have theoretically kicked a field goal to go up 26-21 on the Chiefs.
Doing so, however, would have given Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City offense the ball back with a chance to drive downfield for a game-winning touchdown.
Bills coach Sean McDermott kept his offense on the field and trusted quarterback Josh Allen to get the first down. Allen did that and then some, taking the ball 26 yards by himself for a touchdown that made it 30-21, and effectively clinched the game.
