JT O'Sullivan (QB School) broke down the end of the game in a video he relased today. It's a good watch (YouTube).
It shows the issue being a culprit folks might not expect... Armani Watts. There were some plays early in that drive for the Bills' last TD where Watts was "wrong" and it left Davis wide open. Plays where if you substitute Mathieu and his superior instincts and experience, he probably isn't "wrong" and the throw is at least tough for Allen.
Props to Gabriel Davis, though. That route he ran across Hughes where Hughes fell down was brilliantly executed. If Hughes manages to keep his feet as he reacts, I think it's still a TD because the route was so well run, but Hughes would at least have had an opportunity to make a play.
I also can't watch the last 2 minutes without wondering how different it all is if the Bills are facing a 30-21 deficit like they should have been.
Do they use designed runs for Allen as liberally in that situation as they did in this case? (I suspect not, which also eases what KC has to worry about on D).
I think in that scenario the Bills likely still score, but the Chiefs get the ball back and kill the clock in their 4-minute offense.
Outcome is obviously a Chiefs win, but it would have been a very different feel. And there would be a lot more talk about the defense playing really well without Mathie to hold the Bills to 28 points.
