An unforgettable Sunday night ended in heartbreak for the Buffalo Bills, with the Kansas City Chiefs prevailing 42-36 over the Bills in overtime, ending the season for Josh Allen's team for the second straight year.
Both quarterbacks – the Bills' Allen and Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes – left fans mesmerized with their heroics; the young stars traded huge play after huge play, with Allen connecting with Gabriel Davis for four touchdowns and Mahomes finding Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce for clutch scores.
Tension peaked in a riveting fourth quarter that saw 25 total points scored in the game's final two minutes, a roller coaster of emotions – stress, joy, anger and disappointment – that briefly had fans tasting victory with 13 seconds left and the Bills leading 36-33.
A true thriller

Wow, that had to be one of the greatest games I’ve ever seen in the last 5 years. @BuffaloBills, @Chiefs what a barn burner. Gutted for Buffalo but man that was fun.

Bad enough I have to watch Mahomes play against the #Bills, I also have to watch him in like every other commercial between drives!

It’s not the Bills defense that’s the problem, it’s that Mahomes is super human

The fact that these two teams can’t be playing for the Super Bowl is a disservice to the league. #chiefs #Bills

Blame on the Bills' defense
You can’t even blame the overtime rules for costing the bills the game…They should’ve stopped KC with 13 seconds left????? They just beat themselves.

if I am defensive player on the Buffalo Bills I would never be able to look Josh Allen in the eye ever again

Coaching ups and downs

— victoria 💫 (@litttlesnappy) January 24, 2022
100%Chiefs can't stop him running. Chiefs can't stop passing. But the #Bills take the ball out of his hands. https://t.co/n1eccXnLn1
