Once again, the Bills play the Chiefs down to the wire, only to come up short of the Super Bowl

Associated Press  

— The Buffalo Bills ought to be getting used to this by now. Despite another gutsy effort from Josh Allen and his bunch, who took the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs down to the wire in the playoffs yet again, they were forced to watch in the closing seconds as Patrick Mahomes and the rest of their biggest rivals ran off the final seconds on a 32-29 victory in the AFC championship game Sunday night. “To be the champs,” Allen said after emerging from the locker room, “you have to beat the champs.” The Chiefs will head to New Orleans and try to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls, while the Bills headed back to Buffalo, where they will rue another missed chance at their first trip to the big game since January 1994. But the Bills’ defense, which was missing Taylor Rapp and Christian Benford on the back end due to injuries, was unable to make a play when it mattered, and Mahomes marched Kansas City within range of Harrison Butker’s go-ahead field goal. “I thought we had a chance to catch the ball, but at the end of the day, I’m extremely proud this football team.” In the Bills’ last eight games against Kansas City, they have won every one in the regular season, including in Week 11 this season.
