Walk off Kerry Meier v Mizzou in the snow.

Other teams:
Pats comeback v Falcons
Giants upsetting Pats, helmet catch
Texas USC Vince Young


This is better.

Super Bowls have come down to the last play. This was a great, great game but likely not the greatest ever. Sorry..

I listed one of those Superbowls.
Rothlisberger to Santinio Holmes.

This was better.

Maybe not greatest, but quite possibly craziest ending due to numerous lead changes/ties late. Both teams looked DOA at times.

Mahomes had 177passing yards AFTER the 2min warning in 4th quarter.

Came down to a coin flip. They win the flip then I doubt we get the ball.

I felt like if KC didn't get the TD vs a FG on the first drive of OT that the Bills would win once they got the ball.

I had the same feeling.

Some dude named Gabriel Davis just became the first player to ever have 4 TD catches in an NFL playoff game and had the most receiving yards in postseason history.

And the Bills still lost.

Nothing against Allen, but the Chiefs had significant secondary injuries. Davis was blessed by playing uncovered on big plays.

Was it ‘94….Monday night, Chiefs vs Broncos, Montana vs Elway…..

Then there was that Houston Oilers vs Bills, maybe 93? Came back from 35 down iirc….then of course they promptly lost to the Cowboys in the SB

It has to be up there because it was never a 'this team rallied from X down to win' scenario. It was close the entire game, and the last 5 minutes of the game and OT were bat-shit crazy.

Here's the thing - if the Chiefs don't win next weekend (and, honestly, if they don't win the Super Bowl) - it's a footnote. I think this game could be one of the legendary ones, but only if the Chiefs make it stand up.

You can’t take meaning out of a game, but if you could, and all games were equal, I can’t remember a game like this.

If you keep the meaning, it’s up there, because these are the AFC favorites but JFish might be right in that Mahomes needs to finish the job.

Yet that still doesn’t stop us from continually referring to our OT v Duke in 18.

5 Thoughts that don't make it the "greatest game" but had a bearing on the outcome.

I don't recall there being a turnover in the game.

Speaking of "footnotes", I have a feeling Davis' performance will be forgotten in the not too distant future by most people who aren't Bills fans.

"Tails" may have been the biggest mistake the Bills made all game.

The Bills didn't attempt a field goal all game and returned a grand total of 1 kick (kick offs & punts).

If I am not mistaken, 31 points were scored in the last 6 and a half minutes of the game. 25 in a less than 2 minute time period.

Bonus thought unrelated to last night's game. Pat Mahomes is probably the most gifted QB I have ever seen play the position. Between the coaching staff and the other "skill" position players he has on the field with him I figure he will win multiple Super Bowls in Kansas City. Now that being said, just how good/great would he be today if the Bears had drafted him and would he have been an NFC All-Pro?
