Vic Carucci: Here are my 5 takes on the Bills divisional-round playoff loss
‘That’s what you get with two of the NFL’s best quarterbacks, Allen and Patrick Mahomes, squaring off yet again. It felt like the kind of game that would be decided by which QB or team would be able to make one more play … or one more stop … or would blink and make a mistake, as happened with Bass’ miss.’
Thad Brown: This Chiefs loss worst of them all
‘The Bills got just about all the breaks at the end. Jordan Poyer made a helluva play to force the Mecole Hardman fumble at the goal line and the ball bounced perfectly through the end zone for a cheapie Bills turnover. Allen threw a pick-six L’Jarius Sneed had lined up early on the Bills final drive, only to have Trent McDuffie friendly fire the ball away from Sneed. Allen’s fumble on the same drive, somehow, was recovered by Spencer Brown and not someone in red and white. If the Bills can’t beat the Chiefs in this spot, when will it ever happen?’

Top 3 things we learned from the Bills vs. Chiefs | AFC Divisional Round
‘During their six-game win streak, the Bills rose to the occasion several times in the fourth quarter, including earlier this year in Kansas City. It was only fitting that their season once again came down to fourth quarter execution, only this time things didn’t go their way.’
Turning it around: First game with Chiefs started win streak. Can McDermott’s defense do it again?
‘The Bills’ overall resurgence is rooted in The Team; they are just doing things better than during a 3-5 skid that pushed them out of playoff position. But look at the defense. They returned to their takeaway roots, firmed up against the run and began to close out games.’

Bills Mailbag: Is this Sean McDermott’s finest coaching job?
‘McDermott had a bull’s-eye on his back entering the season when he took over the defensive play calling, and to your point, the defense has continued to function at a high level despite a number of key injuries. The Bills’ season was on life support after that loss to the Eagles dropped them to 6-6, but McDermott used the bye week that followed to make some corrections and what has followed is a six-game winning streak. There were legitimate questions about his job security when it looked like the team was going to miss the playoffs, but those have been erased. He’s done a fantastic job – but it’s not over yet. If the Bills can’t get past the Chiefs, it will be three straight years of being eliminated in the divisional round. The question then will become, what has to change to get over that hump? There is a lot at stake for McDermott on Sunday.’
