This game was a good example of why losing begets losing and winning gives you a mystique that begets winning. Thirteen seconds was huge in the Bills' minds at the end of the game. They were trying to bleed 100% of the clock this time. They dinked and dunked where they probably should have just turned Josh loose.

I was happy when we hit the two minute warning, because now one missed FG by a kicker who had looked shaky all night wins the game for the Chiefs. If the Bills pushed it harder, earlier, they could have missed and still had enough time to overcome that.

They played themselves into a spot where even if they make the FG, they probably still lose. I think they'd have been better off going for it on 4th and 9. Dan Campbell is the only coach who might have actually done that. But if they had 3 minutes left, maybe they do go for it knowing they still have a chance at a stop. Probably not. It needed to be 4th and 5 or less.

Anyway, if 13 seconds never happens, the end of last night's game plays out differently. Which as we know from all our pre-Mahomes Chiefs fandom, shows how hard it is to break that cycle of losing.
