Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.
Exactly, chasing points prematurely can come back to bite teams. The Bills scored only 26 points from 4 touchdowns because of 2 failed 2-point conversion attempts, and the Chiefs scored 29 points from 4 touchdowns because of 1 successful 2-point conversion attempt. If the Bills had kicked an extra point both times, the game would have been tied at 31 with 3:33 left. Of course, if the game was tied at 31, the Chiefs likely would have kicked a game-winning field goal to win 34-31 on their final possession instead of just draining the clock.Tamuco99 said:
This game was a great example of how going for 2 prematurely can cost you. Both teams scored 4 TDs and a FG, but KC won by 3.
Down 11, Buffalo started chasing points right before halftime. Instead of kicking the XP to make it a 4 point game, they end up down 21-16. Then they score again to go up by 1, but fail again. Then KC scores a TD to take a 5 point lead which gives them a chance to grab a 7 point lead by going for 2. Without Buffalo's failed 2 pt tries, this doesn't happen.
Those 2 missed conversion attempts ended up costing the Bills 3 points, the final margin of defeat.

how much longer will Buffalo run it back the McDermott-Josh Allen combo?
