The Buffalo Bills lifted a giant monkey off their backs on Sunday when they defeated their nemesis Kansas City Chiefs, 30-21.
Josh Allen and the Bills have been really good for a few seasons now. But they repeatedly had to watch the Kansas City Chiefs snatch last minute victories away from them on their way to Super Bowls while the Bills repeatedly endured a "wait until next year," mantra.
But Sunday the Bills dug deep and held off the Chiefs, got a two score win and a leg up on a possible rematch in January's post-season. That game could be in Buffalo and not Kansas City.
BUFFALO BILLS STEP FORWARD
The most impressive part of the Bills win on Sunday had them nursing a 23-21 lead in the fourth quarter with the ball. Everybody in the stadium was thinking the same thing...there was still time for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to work their magic and march down the field for a last minute game-winning field goal.
When the Bills had the ball on the Chiefs 26 yard line on a fourth and two situation with just over two minutes to go, the Bills could have kicked a 43 yard field goal to go up by 5 ensuring a field goal by the Chiefs could not beat them. But a touchdown still would!
That's when Bills quarterback Josh Allen rolled right and kept running all the way to the endzone for a game sealing touchdown! Ding dong the witch was dead. For now. I suspect we will get a post season rematch between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs with a Super Bowl trip on the line.
