I just don't understand how Buffalo fans can shit on their D after that game. They were outstanding until Mahomes simply went supernova and then Leslie Frazier made a couple of REALLY bad calls on that last drive out of raw fear.
That's what speed do, I guess. Frazier wanted no part of seeing Hill get over top of him. I just don't think he considered the fact that a pass like that would've taken more than the 8 seconds the Chiefs had to play with. It was poor situational awareness by their DC, IMO.
But as for the defensive players themselves, man they just played their asses off and against anyone else they probably win that game by 13+.

I wondered if Frazier was more worried about DPI on a deep pass to Hill. Maybe Hill gets a step on someone, so they grab him instead of letting him potentially catch a game winning TD. Even if that takes 8 seconds, we would get an untimed down to kick the field goal.
If we catch it underneath, the clock might run out or we don’t gain enough yardage for a realistic field goal.
