It theoretically keeps you in the game a little longer, but all you are doing is delaying having to go through a 50/50 play (in this case two of them). I suppose you could argue keeping it alive puts more pressure on the Chiefs defense, but then again it also puts more pressure on the Bills offense because the later you push back the 50/50 call, the less time you have to recover if you fail. It's odd to me that there's an assumption down 16 you're a lock to score the two point conversions.
It's all kinda splitting hairs because they still needed two onside kicks plus they needed to stop the Chiefs which they hadn't done all game. They lost because they played most of the game in a not to lose mentality which you cannot do against the Chiefs.
