Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has often trusted his defense to deliver in the clutch, but on Sunday, he put the game in the hands of his offense. With just over two minutes left against the Kansas City Chiefs, McDermott made a bold call on 4th-and-2, choosing to go for it rather than settle for a field goal. Quarterback Josh Allen made him look like a genius, breaking through Kansas City’s defense for a 26-yard touchdown, extending the lead to 30-21 and sealing the victory.
After the game, Allen revealed why he pushed for a touchdown instead of settling. “Any time you give the ball back to Pat (Mahomes) and that offense, down six with the game on the line, I like their odds,” Allen said. “We wanted six or seven to make it a two-score game.”
The Bills’ defense wrapped it up with a clutch interception on Mahomes’ final drive to seal the win. Allen finished with 262 yards passing, one touchdown, one interception, and 55 rushing yards with another touchdown. Despite Kansas City’s defense slowing the run game, James Cook stepped up with two crucial touchdowns to help clinch the win.
