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 possibly had enough time to overcome that.

I dunno about that. They tried the deep ball to Diggs in that drive and Diggs dropped it. Later in the drive, Diggs was wide open in short range for an easy first down. Josh held the ball too long, ended up with Chris Jones disrupting the play, and the throw into the end zone came up short as a busted play for Buffalo.
If Josh throws that little dink & dunk ball to Diggs, they pick up the first down and keep the clock running. Josh got too greedy in this situation and went for the kill shot in the end zone 20-30 yards downfield. Even if he was able to hit the touchdown pass on that play, he was gonna leave a huge amount of time on the clock for Mahomes to respond.
Perhaps the deep ball drop by Diggs earlier in the drive contributed to Josh ignoring him on that Red Zone play. Diggs was about as wide open as you can ask a guy to be. High chance of completing a 5-8 yard throw and plenty of YAC on it. Great chance to keep the clock rolling with a 1st down in excellent field position.
