The Buffalo Bills played it safe in Sunday's AFC Championship Game, all while the Kansas City Chiefs ran away with the win.
Buffalo's dreams of a first Super Bowl appearance since the 1993 season ended with a 38-24 loss to the defending NFL champions, as only one team in the matchup of the league's top two offenses seemed prepared for a shootout. Bills coach Sean McDermott's decision-making drew questions after the game, particularly about a pair of field goals Buffalo attempted within the Chiefs' 10-yard line.
Rookie Tyler Bass' 20-yard field goal just before halftime and 27-yard field goal in the third quarter were each attempted with the Bills trailing by multiple scores.
