It might just say more about how good the Chiefs are than it does about Allen's failings.

The Bill's defense was held together with duct tape by the end of the year and as others have pointed out, Von Miller basically gave them nothing. Very disappointing. Allen played very well...really until his last two passes he was soooo good...but he did miss those last two passes. That might be the difference. I don't know of any team, including the Chiefs that ask more from their QB than the Bills ask Allen to do. It's crazy how good he is but any mistake he makes is magnified when nobody else on the team steps up.

The offensive play caller should have basically told Allen at the 2 minute warning that they did not need to score a TD right away as much as they needed another first down to run out some time before trying to score a TD. Even if Allen hits Shakir for the TD on 2d down, that left the Chiefs nearly 1:45 and 2 timeouts to try to score a TD. Even if Buffalo had to kick a shorter field goal to tie before the end of regulation, running out the clock should have been the priority over trying to score a TD with that much time on the game clock.

Hence my post...McDermott is the NFL version of Craig Bohl. Basically.

I don't think Bohl would ever have faked that punt even if they only lined up 1 defender much less 10

At first I thought it was an audible by Hamlin but then I saw McDermott's press conference where he acknowledged it was something they put into the game plan and decided to try when they saw KC had only 10. I felt it was the turning point in the game as it gave confidence to KC that Buffalo did not believe they could win without a desperation play. It also told Buffalo's players that their coach doubted they could win unless they did something extraordinary.

Also has to be said that the coaches decided they would dress a punter with an injured hamstring, who clearly couldn't do the job, in a playoff game. Even after bringing in the former punter to the practice squad during the week.

The terrible punts actually ended up hurting the Bills worse than the fake, only because Kc fumbled it through the end zone.
