Patrick Mahomes took over with 1:54 to go, with 75 yards to march and a three-point deficit to erase against the Buffalo Bills, and in the NFL of yore, this would've been it. One drive. One two-minute drill. One opportunity to add to his legend.
It was the type of moment on which NFL history has been built, and NFL history told us it would be singular. A superstar quarterback with fate in his hands would either succeed or fail. Mahomes would either extend his season, perhaps to OT, perhaps to the AFC title game; or he'd fall short and go home.
