The Buffalo Bills suffered their fourth playoff loss in five years, falling to the Kansas City Chiefs with a 32-29 defeat in the AFC Championship Game. Sean McDermott, head coach of the Bills, provided insight into Josh Allen’s critical missed fourth-down conversion attempt during the game. McDermott admitted Allen nearly made the play but was just short of the first down, as ruled by NFL officials.
The decision was ultimately reversed on the field after a review, with the play standing as incomplete. Despite the costly turnover, the Chiefs quickly answered and extended their lead. The Bills were unable to recover from there, ending their run of close wins against the Chiefs and falling to 0-2 in this season’s playoff series.
Allen recorded a solid performance, completing 22-of-34 passes for 237 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the loss. McDermott expressed frustration with Allen’s missed fourth-down conversion on a pivotal drive that could have turned the game in their favor.
The Bills will now face another tough road as they look to bounce back at home in Week 3 against the divisional opponent.
